There's such peace in this question. It releases me from the burden of deciding. It allows me to use my creativity in service of something larger than my own preferences. I'm not diminishing myself by doing this—I'm actually elevating myself, because I'm participating in something beautiful that belongs to both of us. 💫

When I drape the garland, when I place each ornament, when I arrange the nativity scene on the mantle, I'm not just decorating. I'm creating an environment where his leadership feels honored and my contribution feels meaningful. The home becomes a reflection of partnership, not competition. 🌹

My mother taught me this: a woman's greatest power is in creating beauty around the vision a man provides. It's not about being weak or voiceless. It's about understanding that there's a particular kind of strength in building something beautiful together, in trusting someone else's direction, in making that direction shine. 💝

This Christmas, when people walk into our home, they feel the peace immediately. They don't know why. They just know that something is right here. And I know: it's because two people worked in harmony instead of opposition. 🕊️

What creates more lasting beauty: fighting for your own way, or making someone else's vision magnificent? 🎄
