My DH is not Christian and he is incredibly supportive of Christmas with my family. Much more so than my sister's "Christian" husband.

Same. My Jewish husband has been all-in with Easter and Christmas and I am all-in with his holidays.

OP, this is your answer. His focus should be in his children waking up and enjoying the holiday at home, not himself.

And um, isn’t home where YOU and HIS KIDS are?

Do you really expect OP, who posted in January of 2023, to be looking at this thread?

Presumably OP and his children are his family now? He needs to get over his weird mommy hang up.
