This is a significant year in my relationship with my wife. This is the year I'm actually "not" going to buy her anything for Christmas.
I just can't shop for my darlin'. No matter what I buy her, she takes it back.
It went on for years. I"d buy her something and she'd break it to me gently that it just wasn't right. At the same time, she'd complain that I didn't pay enough attention to the things she liked. Whatever.
Over the past couple of years we started taking the easy route. She'd buy her "mainer" gifts from me, and I'd wrap them and hold them till Christmas day, but I'd always buy some other stuff so she'd be surprised on the big morning.
But even that started to backfire. I just didn't choose the right stuff. So this year, I'm not going to bother at all.
Apparently I've been very generous this year. I've bought her a leather jacket and a pair of boots that are exactly what she wants.
And you know what? That's all she's gonna get............ unless of course I see something I know she'll really really like.
