Default Christmas, Birthday, and Anniversary...OH my!!

Well, as everyone knows Christmas is right around the corner. My husband's birthday is only 4 days after that, and only 20 days later is our wedding anniversary. I feel I did great shopping for my husband for Christmas, but now I am stuck as to what to get him for the other two. I am seriously tempted to unwrap two of the presents and rewrap them in regular paper to give him later on.

too much celebration at one time! By the time your anniversary rolls around, presents might lose their effect- so maybe you could show him you care through something non-material? Plan a weekend away or something.

I am totally in your shoes!

My DD is the last of November. DS is Christmas day. FIL is Jan 1, DH is Jan 4 and a brother in law Jan 2. Not to mention my brother, sister and father all near the start of November. I also have a good friend and her two kids that are all within 10 days of Christmas. It's a lot of buying!

And I totally understand about you rewrapping a couple presents. It's a lot of work doing all that shopping and buying! Thankfully, DH this year decided he needed an expensive camera for Christmas so it can serve as a dual present. DS wants an iPod touch--another dual present (I don't usually do dual presents, but at those costs, they understand).

Not much help here for you kiddo...I do have an Aunt Ophy though!

My step-d's birthday is Dec. 19 ~ Christmas ~ My anniversary is Jan. 6 ~ my wife's birthday is Jan 7....

Now, Angie takes care of my step-daughter (but she also has 5 other Dec. birthdays on her side) but that leaves me with 3 GIFTS to figure out in a short time...

thank goodness we decided to buy gifts from the family out of the World Vision catalogue this year!

We always just go to dinner for our anniversary...easy

I think I made a decision and for his birthday/our anniversary I might make a reservation to go to the Chocolate Spa at the Hotel Hershey near HersheyPark. You can get chocolate facials and they even have a special men's package. and of course I will get a little chocolate facial too. He loves chocolate I wonder what it would be like being surrounded by it.
