Christmas gift Equalty?

[Ketchn]

I was just pondering some of the inequalities in life. I know thinking is a dangerous thing for me.
After many years of observation and much instructions from the wife, I am wondering the whys of some things.
I have noticed that when it comes to Dads and husbands gifts tools and things to work with seem to be acceptable and in most instances appreciated gifts. But any mom and wifey gift that would be used to do any chore, no matter the necessity, of said chore, is quite frowned upon, and can and usually does, bring a very unappreciative smile of disapproval. Also a reminder for years of the indiscretion.
So my friends, remember a cooking device, cleaning device or any device that does not glitter, or remove said spouse from home for a vacation from you and or children, is a no no.



Merry Christmas to all and blessings to you and yours.

no doubt , a lady at my job wanted some kinda fancy coffee maker thing that cost a bundle and her husband gave it to her for their wedding anniversary
man I thought we would NEVER hear the end of it at work , made my ears bleed I tell ya

With my birthday being in December as well as Christmas I asked for glass bowls with lids that fit securely. I'm just tired of going thru a dozen cool whip, sour cream or chip dip containers looking for leftovers.

you forgot the country crock containers ...

I agree, anyone that you would give a gift to at Christmas or birthday, why wait. I have been similarly doing this with my wife and close family members, even close friends, of sharing gifts throughout the year. While one doesn’t how long they will live, I know at my age the days gone by are greater than the ones ahead. When I find something that I think interests or benefits them I would rather give it to them over and above the other gifts at traditional times. I haven’t regretted it.
