I'm with Drew. No gifts.

It's enabling behavior and it frustrates me to see that this type of counseling stuff gets posted here still. Why thank her for a George W. Bush "Mission Accomplished" marriage? The marriage wasn't supposed to end. Sorry to sound so gruff but what message does this send?

I agree with above. A 'softer' "wish you a Merry Xmas" or "enjoy the day" is perhaps a smidge more appropriate.

Think.

Supporting you.
