christmas ideas for him

John is not very helpful when it comes to giving me ideas for what he wants for Christmas:

John: I could use a shirt.

Me: Okay. What kind of shirt?

John: A nice one?

Me: …

Excellent. Let me scratch “ugly shit” off my list then.

“I don’t really want anything, Shauna. Don’t worry about it.”

“I use some socks and underwear. Yeah, that’s what I need…”

“Ummmmm…..” (4 1/2 seconds later he is completely distracted by two hockey teams he cares nothing about who are bashing it out on television. No ideas are presented).

Dude does NOT want to help a girl out. One of these Christmases he’s going to get package after package of underwear…

    LOL! It is sooo hard! Truthfully, I don’t think I am any easier for Mark. We stopped giving each other presents. We just figure, if we really want/need something, we just buy it. This year we are taking the money we would normally spend on each other, and donating it. I think making someone else happy is the greatest gift we could ever give each other.

    When we first got together Josh gave me socks and I gave him underwear as a joke. Now it is a tradition.

    A few years ago my husband was beyond overjoyed by a gift of 12 (or so) pairs of socks from my parents. Of course, that might have been because (as far as I could tell), the last time he had new socks was for high school graduation (we are in our 40s). As part of the present I went through his drawers and got rid of all of the holey & mismatched socks, which was ALL of them. He was excited about socks with no holes for months. We won’t discuss the state of his boxers.
