Did Your Christmas Suck???

[DianaB]

Ok, now what am I suppose to say if I can't say that I'm sorry. That was pretty stinky of your husband and it would be the last year that I would give him gifts.

Gift giving from my husband was really lousy this year too. I guess that next year I'll just wrap up what I want and give it to him, after all that's what he did for me! You'd think that after 34 years of being married that he'd at least ask the girls to help him out!!!

I really don't think half the guys have a clue when it comes to gift giving. A weather station...don't think I'd want that any more than I wanted the wine.

I had discussed with him how I would like to go to the wine tasting, just to see if there was one I might like. I didn't want him to waste money on six bottles of the stuff. He took it all back this morning, but he'll do the same as he did last year when he took something back.....didn't get me anything else and didn't give me the money either. He did say he may be late because he might go to Best Buy and see what kind of GPS systems they had. He can be as late as he wants....I really don't care if he ever comes back.

Man, he makes me mad!!!

Girls... men just do NOT have a clue... heres something to laugh about.

My husband bought me some really very nice spa products, with 2 bottles of the same perfume!! When i opened the second box, i looked at him and said....oh this is lovely, did you like this perfume so much you bought me two bottles? He looked at me and said... ohhh geeeezzz 'm sorry, i didnt realize, i bought the second bottle a few days later, but out of all, i liked this one the best, but i can go change it for you.

Well... i just smiled and thanked him, walked away and burst out laughing my butt off!!!!


I didnt get anything that was on my list (posted in the other thread) so i guess i'll go and get it myself LOL

Mandy, that is hilarious! I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it.

I'm lucky to have a hubby who is an AMAZING gift giver. He thinks of things that I haven't even thought of that I end up loving--like the heated blanket he got me this year. He knows how I get cold easily and that I love to snuggle up and get warm. It really was perfect! He also got me a book by one of my favorite authors and my favorite chocolates. And for the past two Christmases since my grandfather passed away, he's given me a really nice set of preserves. I've always loved different and unique flavors and my grandfather used to give me a set every Christmas. Brendon knows how much I miss him so that is definitely a really thoughtful and caring gift that always brings tears to my eyes.

And my birthday is in a few weeks, so I can't wait to see what he thinks up for that!

Mandy....I have one of those kind too....LOL. Sometimes it is so funny and other times I want to run him down!!!

[Marilyn]

Janet, I don't know what to say either since I can't say sorry. Just hope that you have a wonderful New Year!!!!

[Janet]

Not too worry, I always enjoy the time with my son. He makes everyday so special. I do try to concentrate on making his holiday a great one, so most of the time...most don't have any idea how miserable I was on the inside. I just don't want my son to have the same feelings for Christmas that I do. Isn't is strange how we carry so much from our childhood?

Life is still good...it is what you make it.
