Handing over your Christmas money so that your husband can pool together your Christmas earnings to buy a brand new, state of the art, super skinny, yet still very manly 40" LCD TV.
I totally feel ya. Instead of gifts this year we bought a video camera "for the both of us." I think it will be good when we have kids...but like we are ever going to use that now. Er. Oh well :)
It also means that your husband now feels entitled to a 60" flat screen in a 12' x 12' living room, because his 32" flat screen is now no longer manly enough. :-)
How funny! We don't have separate Christmas money anymore... it's just "our" Christmas money. His first thought was a new tv for our bedroom, but I turned him down on that one since we have some un-finished house projects we need to put $ toward and we just got a new 52" LCD for the living room. We never watch TV in the bedroom anyway! Enjoy :)
We did something similar this year involving computer stuff (that I really know nothing about but happy that it works the way I want it to). Funny how this whole Christmas thing works when you get hitched :)
