I had been trying to figure out if I do anything for W for X-mas while still trying to detach. I came to the conclusion if I am giving gifts that it should be fine if I keep my perspective. That it is something that I do because that is the type of person that I want to be and that I place no expectations on her reaction to said gifts. I do something nice because I do something nice, not because I expect she'll react in any particular way. I think I am doing this in a detached manner...
