Missus handed me my presents this morning, then asked, ''Where is the present you got for me?'' eerrmmmm, I've got nothing for you.

She says I do this every year and she fails to understand why? It doesn't matter how small the present is, it's the thought that counts. She claims. Well, I've not even open the presents she bought me
 
I can't see anyone's Missus being happy not receiving anything for Xmas. It ain't about how much you spend. Just a little thought can go a very long way
 
well, in as much as that is a true statement, I did inform her a very long time ago not to buy me anything for xmas. It's not my fault she did not listen. BTW, even the boys (7&9) got nothing from me, except my presence.
They will get plenty from the January sales, assuming one can trust it's actually a sale?

I have tolerated the wife's family for several days now and a couple more to follow so that is present enough........although we treated ourselves to a Bosch laser tape ( who says romance is dead )
 
And your relationship is on the rocks v.i? To be honest I feel sorry for her. From some of your posts you treat your lady and mother of your children like dirt!

Not even the kids? Seriously! My kids are a pain, but they still get something.

Not really the point is it bud? Sure, save the big purchases till the Januagry sales but a couple of little fun or playful things to unwrap on Xmas is part of what makes the day special....

Glad i'm not a fly on the wall in your house, seems like a lovely atmosphere.. Bet your one of those chaps who work on rather than go home to your family!!

APPlumbing, you are getting me worried. How is it you're quoting her verbatim? Surely, I need some support here, why are you on her side?

For many reasons. But mainly because there are thousands of blokes wishing they could be at home for Christmas with the family and you have that but seem to be acting like a git. Mainly.
