how my family will celebrate yule and christmas

Yule is on Dec21st and Christmas is the 25th of course.  I plan on combining it this year.  My fiance isn't Wiccan but he doesn't really have a peticular religion either.  Both of our families are christian based.  This year I plan on celebrating Yule on the 21st with my fiance and our son.  We will hold a ritual eat food light the yule log each night. etc.  Some pagan traditions celebrate Yule for 12 days.  I don't necessarily like that, so we will celebrate it for 4 days.  Until Christmas day.  Our son Damien will get to open one gift each night and on Christmas morning open the rest.  My fiance's family celebrates Christmas on Christmas eve so this will work perfect.  Damien can open a gift in front of his family.  My family celebrates on Christmas day.  This is one way of combining both traditions fairly for each religion.  I have not "came out of the broom closet" to either family, but once in a while when they come over I have left something related to Wicca out.  They either know and don't mention it, or just think I really like stars! MERRY YULE!!!
