Meshing of traditions gives Bosnian couple 2 Christmases

Huntington County Tab:

A Bosnian family living in Huntington has meshed its own holiday traditions from home with those of America, a compromise that includes the celebration of two Christmases.

Ira Bencun moved to Huntington in December 2004 after meeting her future husband, Dalibor. They are from the same town, Kakanj in central Bosnia, but she says they didn't meet until he was home visiting his family after he had already moved to America in the late 1990s.

In January 2005, the couple married in America; in December 2005, their son Stribor was born here.

Both Ira and Dalibor Bencun work in Huntington....
