The combining of families and family traditions, how do you handle it?

Tweet

My husband and I have been married for 9 years but we still struggle with some of the differences between how our families handle family traditions. In his family, on Christmas they would all rip into the gifts at once. In my family, we do gifts one by one and do a lot of gag gifts. Since he spends xmas with my family each year, he has given in to this tradition. The one holiday we still disagree on is Easter. My family would boil and color eggs and the Easter Bunny would hide these eggs. When we woke up in the morning, we would have brand new easter baskets and all the eggs we colored would be gone and we had to find them. My sister and I would rehide these eggs all day and had a blast finding them. My husband's family would color eggs as well, but when they woke up in the morning, the Easter Bunny had left the colored eggs alone, and had placed out empty baskets and there were pieces of candy hidden all over the rooms. We stil argue over how we should handle Easter with our son (although I have won out the last few years :) ). What are some situations that you have run into when you have needed to compromise on your family traditions?
