For our first anniversary, Steve bought me seat covers for the 2 seats of my VW bus (back in 1980, before minivans were popular, I had the bus).

He's lucky that I forgave him and this year we celebrated 29 years.  He never gave me such a stupid present again.  I do have, however, a wonderful jewelry collection now.

The dog is actually the best-treated creature around these parts.  Ask anyone who's seen "The Life of Beau" in person.   ::) And there is no dog house in my yard.  

Oh yeah.  I don't want jewelry or fancy things, I've had all of that.  Just be here for me, treat me well and show me that you love me.  The rest of the year, not just at Christmas and my birth day.  And if you absolutely must get me something, flowers, a puppy or a poem (well-thought-out choice of another's or an original if that's in you) are the best things.

One Christmas, he bought me a Nordic Track.  I did ask for it, though.  Nowadays, it's a clothes receptacle.

ROFL! That reminds me of the time my mom got a vacuum for Christmas....from my dad's mother. The saleslady was horrified when Mimi said she was buying it for her daughter-in-law, but mom had specifically asked her for one.

Got a half dead tulip one time for my birthday. He had forgotten the date and remember it only when the kids wished me Happy Birthday.

Ugliest Christmas gift I ever got was from my own mother- a velvet paining. Egads!  I know she meant well. ::) Scariest was the monkey slippers from SIL that screeched when the head was pressed. Also well-meant, but that's when you know they've run out of ideas...! Funniest/weirdest was the stretch lace granny panties (in the right size!), that MIL gave me when milord and I were still dating. Again, she meant well, and they were at least useful.

So anything milord gives me is gonna be better than that!!!

My wife is getting an above the range-mount microwave for Christmas...an infinitly practical woman...I know she'll love it (really, no kidding).

Then I'll say something romantic like "Woman, cook up your man some grub pronto!"...figure I'll wake up around New Years...

She's getting some Par-fume-ay to go with that thar' microwave, and some toasty jamies!

I'm getting a new armoire for the sewing room, exactly what I asked Leinad for. I'm looking forward to loading it full of all the things that have been laying around waiting for a proper put away!

I said to my wife "I'm feeling in a mellow mood, bring me a ham sandwich and a beer and I'll validate your marriage license for another month",  I don't remember to much after that..........................

Our first Christmas together my Husband new I didnt have a proper winter coat, so his mother and him went shopping to find me one.  It was a size to big and was absolutely horrible.  But I took it with a great smile and fake cheer.  And wore it a handful of times.  But I think he knew he messed up, so now for Christmas we go shopping together.  I pick out what I want and he pays for it then tells me "Merry Christmas."

I have to say, that video is a marvelous ad campaign for JC Penny.

What I liked was the guy who was up for parole--look how much hair he had when he committed his 'faux pas' and how much he lost by the time he faced the board!

All I know is that there's a pajamagram on the way. I know better than to even THINK about a vacuum or thighmaster! Those aren't needed anyway!

Funny video, though!
