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 and I have her blessing.
She has instructed me not to buy her anything. Why go through the exercise of having to take stuff back. She’ll just wait till after Christmas and buy a couple of things for herself directly.
It will eliminate the middle man.
