[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like he feels the need for some time to himself.  He uses Saturdays as his time.  Everyone needs that down time.  But all day every Saturday is a lot.  Could you suggest that he uses Saturday to run errands and have some time to himself, but reserve Saturday afternoon/evening for date night?  Then, Sunday could be your family day? [/quote]

That is basically what we’ve been doing. I do all of the must-do stuff on Saturdays so that we can hang out on Sunday. I just wanted the tree done today because it’s a lot of work and I wanted to relax tomorrow. [/quote]

I would pull out all the decorations and decorate the house and yard. I would set up the tree and put the lights on, but hold off on ornaments.  Make some cookies, put on Christmas music, and when he gets home, everyone helps put ornaments on the tree.  My husband (of 30 years) hates the hassle and the logistics of decorating.  But he likes putting ornaments on the tree. It's all about compromise, OP.  Most men don't care nearly as much about decorating for Christmas as women do.  Not a popular statement, but it's true.

Most women don’t like or care that much about holiday decorating but they do it so the family can have some traditions. 
I just hand my husband and son a bunch of lights and tell them to string them along the front fence. And they do. Easy. [/quote]
