GIFT GIVING SCENERIO

My spouse has a strange sense of humor. We were out shopping the other day and one of the items he picked up was a pair of driving gloves for himself. When we got home he proceeded to wrap them for himself for Christmas. With a true air of sincerity (well you know) I told him "now you have something to open Christmas morning".

I had also grabbed a cute white "hoodie" as we waited in line and when I tried to wear it, he said no, you have to wrap it for Christmas. We reached an agreement after hours of negotiation (a couple of minutes). I may wear said garment but must wrap it Christmas Eve in preparation for its grand re-opening in the morning. Like I said. My husband has a strange sense of humor. Apparently anything of personal need, want or desire purchased this time of year is considered a "gift" regardless of who buys it - including the consumer. Makes his job easier I must say.

Another odd fact. I don 't mind standing in line this time of year. I am actually cheerful, speaking to strangers (which if it is not work-related I do not bother), remaining polite, even friendly, to overworked and underpaid clerks. What is up with that? Merry Merry.
