I always think of the song "this xmas I gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away". So that is not an issue for I gave Rob my heart going on 12 years and he never gave it away or returned it so what to get him "this xmas?
One thing you notice as you age is there is less and less to give people that are older. Most if not all have had everything they need and "things" are no longer important. It's not like money is flowing so it can't be anything expensive either.
So "this xmas" I need to go back to basics and think out of the box! We had some nice bathrobes I threw away in Miami never thinking we would ever use them! Well here we are in Tampa where nights go to the 30's and we definitely could use a nice cotton fluffy robe, so there is that possibility.
Though we all say xmas is a time of giving, we also like receiving something. It's not even how much it costs it's the thought your in someone's mind and being thought of. Rob has always had a challenge with buying anything for me. I really don't need anything so what I might do is buy two robes and there is our xmas presents.
Something we need, will use and cozy up as I know he will be buying me movies he wants. Rob always buys me movies that he wants! It's an excuse to get them and then add them to the hundreds we have in the closet.
We still need to be mindful of the kids and grandson along with a little thing or two for our immediate family. Sometimes something simple, but I get joy watching them smile.
Like every other xmas I will find joy in giving, but dam it, I want that robe I threw away. It's in the 40's this am and I could use it.
