A funny story..when we were kids, my Grandma made us make our Christmas lists out right after Halloween. We were expected to write down any and everything we could think of that we wanted, but put stars by the things we would most like to have.
When Christmas rolled around, we always got the basics (clothes), but got 1 major gift, and a couple of those "really wants" from the list.
When I met Hubby, I had to learn to curb my lists, because he would buy EVERYTHING on the list, and everything I had mentioned in conversation I thought was neat, or could be useful for the house...I would feel guilty because I am more of a practical gift-giver..and he would have 4 or 5 gifts and I would have 12.
He just eats it up and likes to tell everyone how he loves me more!
