Never a susprise there. But really I don't care, I just want my kids to be susprised.Together We Savehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17294423259234525733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330770119466507320.post-70445596967808800632009-12-11T15:09:04.099-05:002009-12-11T15:09:04.099-05:00Haha thats one thing I hate about my mom and grand...Haha thats one thing I hate about my mom and grandmother when it comes to Christmas.

My Mom always bought us gifts, but the past 2 years she has opted to give money.... So no, no surprise here.

Here's something you mentioned ages ago & totally forgot about! The best gift hubby ever gave me was 5 paperback fiction books of different authors - I love to read & he knows my fav. authors & went to the bookstore & they helped him out. Loved it, and it was a total surprise.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10517881134257975071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330770119466507320.post-24549910035100307152009-12-10T11:55:35.469-05:002009-12-10T11:55:35.469-05:00I was surprised last year on christmas...Dan spent...I was surprised last year on christmas...Dan spent a good chunk of change on an art peice for our living room...I was very disappointed because although I had given him ideas on what I liked this peice was nothing like anything I had pointed out. But he explained that him and Riley picked it out and since then I've come to love it.<br /><br />But as a rule...no I'm not surprised...this year we've decided we are getting new bedding (riley is adamant that we both be surprised so we'll have to play it up lol).~~Mel~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02920882711273956385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330770119466507320.post-42721616661251500882009-12-10T01:44:47.794-05:002009-12-10T01:44:47.794-05:00Surprises are great, I agree.

He kept talking about it, and I was soooo looking forward to the surprise. I mean, that was THE thing I was going to open first on Christmas morning. It had to be truly awesome, right? It turned out to be an orange Reese's Peanut Butter cup t-shirt. Yeah, I like Reese's, but....considering the hype, I was a tad deflated. <br /><br />So I guess it has to do a bit with expectations. If you expect to be surprised & then aren't, then it's a bummer. If you go into it thinking you know what you're getting, then the smallest additional little something might make your day. <br /><br />Merry Christmas! The ring wrap sounds lovely.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121871470567663485noreply@blogger.com
