Each year my wife and I have a rule that exists between us: we can each get ourselves something that we really want – within reason of course – aside from the other holiday gifts that we are getting for our family members and friends. This year I accidentally knocked her favorite Tiffany glass vase off the end table and it shattered on the floor below. She was not too happy with me after cleaning up the mess and seeing her favorite Tiffany glass vase in shards. I told her two things: one, I would get her a new Tiffany glass vase to replace it, and two: she could buy herself two things that she wanted for personal gifts. She told me the other day that she finally figured out what she was getting for her extra present, and she gave me a new necklace. I guess I got really lucky when I married this gal, because that is how much she loves me. She takes her spare gift and decides to get something for me instead. What a woman! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
