I know your friend probably meant well, but really could have kept that info to herself.
I stuggle with the knowledge that I know for the first 2-3 years, he is Mr. Christmas. Really puts thought into the gifts you get. He doesn't have a clue, but he tries! Then, the next thing you know, he is asking you to pick out your own gift. Then, when you say you just want him to give you something from the heart, he comes up with some last minute Christmas Eve B/S that no one in their right mind who knows you would give you. You simply stop being important enough to think about. And the rest of Christmas is on You!
Cadet is spot on. At some point, we have to stop surviving Christmas and start living it. It's just not going to be this year for me or you. Start working on next.
