Spent more this year than I ever have. There has been some really good deals that you can't pass up.

Good man! Now did you pay attention to her hints as to what she wants? My husband never does, lol, so I buy my own gifts.

We spent more this year as well.

I hear ya, the quality ain't there on so much of this stuff, but that sure ain't changing the price tag one bit.

You're right, and I do those too.

Please don't make assumptions about my relationship based on one sentence I type.

I'm not a very good listener by nature because I'm a guy, lol, but I do my best. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, or because the longer I'm with my wife the more I love her, but I try harder now to be in tune with doing nice things for her more often. I'm not a real Christmas guy, I generally loathe malls, and shopping in general. So I'm really not sure where all of this came from, but I decided I wanted to spoil her rotten this year and I am. I am even going to buy her a gift for New Years eve.

Well she's a lucky woman to have you and I'm sure she'll appreciate all of your thoughtfulness!
