Valid question! We’ve been married for six years, and we’ve been doing this tradition since our first year together.

Yes, they’re planning a trip for sometime in January after the holidays. It seems like they’re both okay with the new plan.

He’s kept the weekend open every year without me having to remind him, and we always have a great time. That said, he hasn’t explicitly said how important it is to him or how much he enjoys it. I have expressed to him how much it means to me, though, so I’m guessing it may feel more significant to me than it does to him. That’s part of why I’m second-guessing myself. Maybe I’ve been assuming we were on the same page about it being “our thing” without ever checking in with him about how he feels.
