Having a thoughtful caring husband is wonderful but at Christmas time, why does he always ask "what do you need this year?"
to which I reply "I don't really neeeeed anything" and he replies "what can I get you, you deserve something nice." and I reply "surprise me!"
This has went on for the last 7 years, how do you ladies out there who have been married for much longer handle this?
I definitely know not to tell him clothes, because his taste is much different than my conservative comfortable taste! LOL
For some reason he thinks I love pink, pink everything. I have told him no I don't want pink.
some is ok but not everything, pink phone holder, pink shirts, pink socks, pink earrings. NO!
I know he means well.... but just surprise me... but keep the receipt! LOL don't get me wrong he has great taste, just at times its a bit much.
Then comes the shopping for my son and daughter in law and grandkids...
I know he loves to spoil I do too... but sometimes a couple of toys for the grandkids is better than all toys, they need clothes and other stuff too.
We set a budget and he just ignores it! I love him dearly...
Men are like big children... they get so excited during the holidays... they want special food dishes made, and their Christmas lighting! it is nice, but when its all over, they are not too excited on putting it away! LOL
This year Christmas will be a bit different with my dad in nursing home, and mom all alone.
Some siblings have other plans so they can just relax and recharge.
But in the long run it will be a very special Christmas, we have so much to be thankful for no matter what we get under that tree.
In case I do not get a chance to write again before the Christmas Holiday, Wishing you all a very blessed Christmas
