Simply having a wonderful Xmas time!
Today, I came home and told my husband that I got my own Christmas present so he would have something to give me at the family gathering. He asked me if it was wrapped. I said it was. He said, "Nice." No follow up questions at all. FML

Today, I received from my husband for Christmas the body lotion that only he uses. And nothing else. FML

Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML

Keeping up appearances
Today, just like every other celebratory day (like my anniversary or birthday) I ordered my own Christmas present. My husband doesn't get it. I tried to explain. He openly admits he has no idea what I like and has no interest in learning, but wants me to have something to open so he won't look bad. FML

Today, I bought a rather unique shirt for my boyfriend, planning to give it to him for Christmas. He showed up wearing the same shirt. This isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a box of chocolates for Christmas. I thought it was sweet until I noticed the heart drawn on the back. It's the same box of chocolates I gave him for Christmas. Christmas last year. FML

Today, after weeks of tirelessly organising a Secret Santa with work colleagues, we finally exchanged gifts. I got a stapler, which had been stolen from my desk the day before. FML

Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML

Today, when I went to work, my nice coworker gave me a gift basket. And cookies. I had to tell him that I caught his kid keying my car last night. FML

That's unfortunate. At least you have until tomorrow to get something else.

Well at least you know he'll like it

You have a chance to return it and get him something else.

Good luck on finding him another gift! Maybe get some candy too? The way to a mans heart is through food you know (;

Well #32 I count myself as low maintenance, but for me, just throw me a bone every once and a while in the form of a video game, and I'll be set for a LONG time. Is that bad?

hey, but now you can exchange your gift and let him choose exactly what he wants, that way everybody wins!

Not really. It all depends on what the gift is. The perfect gift for a person doesn't mean it has to cost a lot. Ex: My BF exchanged gifts with some of his co-workers. They were their favorite super hero logos on baseball hats. Hope their SO didn't also get those for them.

My family has a $50 secret Santa. My coworkers also have a $50 secret Santa. I wouldn't be surprised if I got the same thing

You might want to ask yahoo answers for advice on this one.

I don't think it's ever a good idea to turn to Yahoo Answers for help...
