All He Wants For Christmas Is You

"Mom, what can we get Dad for Christmas?" My son whispered in a conspirator's voice. We were in the kitchen making dinner while pondering what we would put under the tree this year.

"Hmmm ..." I was wondering the same thing myself. Gift buying is difficult overseas where we live. Our city has recently added a new wholesale warehouse where we can find some American items ... but somehow I don't think a 10 lb pack of ground beef is what either of us had in mind for Christmas.

(But we are praising the Lord for ground beef!)

"Why don't I go ask him what he wants," my son continued, "then I'll tell you." He went to ask my husband who was in the next room over and I overheard the reply: "All I want for Christmas is your mom."

That figures!

So this year I'm giving him what he wants. Under the tree, my husband will find a Magic Box. Inside the box I am putting ... well, I'm not going to tell! But I will say that my theme is "Date Night In--with All Options Open."

If you are looking for the perfect gift for your mate, look no further than in the mirror! Consider making your own Magic Box to put under your tree and fulfill your man's secret Christmas wish.

Much better than hamburger meat :)

Quiet Here

I know there's not been much going on here--I'm sorry about that. My life slipped into overdrive again and I'm just now coming up for air, and I have a feeling that it's just a quick gulp before diving back in to things here at home. If you're interested, here's an unimportant update on a small part of what's been going on in my life, excluding all the church activities that have consumed a huge chunk of my time. =) It really is exactly what it's titled: unimportant, but I wanted to let people know I haven't totally disappeared. =)

You ladies, out of everyone, know how life gets at times. Thanks for understanding our short posts with just a link for you and our silence. Sooner or later we'll get back to some kind of normalcy around here, until then, know we love you. =)

Merry Christmas!

I'm having one of those weeks again, and this weekend is booked about solid, so here's an idea for you...visit our sisters at Exemplify's Marriage channel where there's a discussion going on about gift ideas for your husband. There are some really good ideas floating around over there!

I'll be back soon...

Twelve Nights of Christmas

I don't know about you guys, but I love the Christmas season! I've heard of wives that do the twelves days of Christmas for their husbands by giving them a gift each day on the twelve days that lead up to Christmas. That's a great idea... IF you know what to give your man! For some of us, that would be an almost impossible task to do!

So, as an alternative, what about a variation of that? What about the twelve days of Christmas...in your bedroom...or not in your bedroom, depending on the availability of the other rooms in your house. *grin*

Could you come up with plans for twelve nights of Christmas? They can be...
fun plans,
special plans,
adventurous plans.
Remember, they don't necessarily have to be completed before Christmas! If they overflow beyond Christmas, that's okay! Tailor the timing to suit you and your husband.

If you're having trouble thinking of ideas for all twelve nights, how about plans for six nights of Christmas? You could give the other six nights to your hubby to plan out however he wanted to. If you do that, make sure you're willing to go along with his plans and at least try some things you might not have ever thought of yourself.

Your plans can be as simple as starting with a relaxing backrub...
a late candlelight dinner for two...
as fun as a mini skirt and spikes...
or as adventuresome as oral delights.

Take some time to plan out, and even put on the calendar if you have to, twelve nights of Christmas for you and your husband. Make this a Christmas season he remembers next Christmas! =)

Oh! By the way, Shula plans on being here next week! Maybe she can give you an adventure or two between now and Christmas.
