    Best Christmas gift by far I've ever received was when Eathan lied to me for about a month in cahoots with my mom about him having too much work for us to go see my full family and then the day of the flight telling me he had plane tickets already and to pack.

    Still bullshit that my mom always sides with him but that's the best one I've been given.

    I made a list of pretty much every complaint she made for like a month and a half before Christmas and just resolved all of them as her Christmas gift. (Couple of light bulbs, the heat distribution in the house, the fridge was beeping, replaced a set of blinds, etc.)

    I highly advise this route and am frankly mad that she thought the trip to Florida ranked over this because this took dramatically more effort and thought MLS

    Thanks to serendipitously finding a bunch of her dad's old records yesterday, the final tally is going to be:

    - Victrola Record Player
    - Oofo Sandals (they're incredible and everyone who does any high impact activity should own a pair. Awesome for foot, knee, and hip issues. You're walking a cloud)
    - Everything Bagel seasoning hot sauce (stocking stuffer, she loves everything bagel seasoning)
    - ring (finger) set she saw and liked at a market last week.

    Feel like this is a BJ, maybe even ZJ level haul

    No, I was specifying that the ring set was for fingers and not toes, nose, or cock.

    My wife bought an absurd amount of shit for herself around Black Friday. Even she agreed that her haul included Christmas. That’s how much stuff it was.
