Being from Texas I know you have heard of the Geezinslaw Brothers, Sam and Son. Sam told a story about asking his wife what she wanted for Christmas. She replied "a divorce". So Sam says, " I wasn't planning on spending quite that much". Are these guys still around down there? They finally kicked Sammy off the radio ( I think?) and Son was always at the bar out at the "spoke" back in the day when i was still single And frequented that establishment. That was almost 40 years ago.

She's got a checkbook, why would I buy her stuff on top of that?
About the divorce thing, that's the best investment I EVER made. Expensive, but FINITE.

A toaster? A broom? A vacuum cleaner perhaps? Hmmm, probably a good thing I'm not married. 😜 Or maybe that's the reason? Seriously, if you ever think dating is expensive try marriage. And if you think THAT'S expensive, try divorce.. Don't ask how I know this... Wise words...

Every year she gets a new toilet brush whether or not she's worn the old one out.

Has anyone said, "New husband"? I mean, just wondering.

Wife informed me that she would appreciate the gift of me filling her box with my meat. Actually she said stuff my box full..... Of course I obliged albeit a month early. Looks like some oil field sucker must have hit a cow, huh? Darn.

I got mine a Swarovski Crystal necklace and matching bracelet. Really not that expensive for the amount of shiny stuff she gets. Looks like diamonds too. Only spent a couple hundred

I'm sending my wife and daughter in law to China on a mission trip over Christmas break. That takes care of both of their Christmas presents.
My son's present will be a 2 day hog hunt with HardKnock Outdoors while they are gone. Hunting one day with dogs/knives. Hunting second day with crossbow and/or AR.
