Christmas Gifts And Things.

Being the person that I am - pretty self-contained, bit of a loner - I've never really been one for presents and great big whopping shows of affection. I can afford what I can afford and I prefer things that come from the heart.

Likewise my guy.

So, we just buy little things for each other. Things with thought behind them. For example, he might rummage through my makeup and find I am running low on something or other, he might get me a book I might like or talked about the author in passing, concert tickets, framed pictures of us..that kind of thing.

That's why I love him.

It's our 4th Xmas living together and it's been fun....hectic, at times, with a lot of guests on Xmas day....and it's had it's very relaxing times too.

Good way to go. My siblings and myself agreed several years ago to 'de-hassle' and 'de-expense' Christmas. Putting more thought (and less money) into Christmas gifts has worked well for us. Also things that get used up (from reed diffusers to cheese) are preferable to things which hang around unused (knife sharpeners, cafetieres...). By the time you get to our age, if you want an item, you've probably bought it already!
