    My windshield took a rock on the way home from visiting family for Thanksgiving, and the crack spread due to the temps, so I'm getting myself a new windshield with the Christmas money I had saved. So I may end up doling out IOUs this Christmas, hahaha.

    We do something similar, usually just buying something we have been wanting for the house or kitchen. One year it was a nice set of kitchen knives. I think this year we are going to have our painter do the hallway and master bedroom. My wife has hated the color since we moved in. So it is a little more for her, although I don't love the color either.

    I think the vacation thing is a great idea to. We do basically the same thing for our birthdays and anniversary.

    WHOA, what a thread! :smile:

    A kick out the door?! :razz:



    I think I'm going to get mine a Motorola Roadster 2, and to have her front bumper painted on her car. Peeling issues, ugh. I've got a roadster 2 in my truck and she's commented on it more than a few times, I think she'll be happy.

    Scotty, I'm with you on that one.

    My wife and I usually don't exchange gifts. We normally buy for our daughter mostly, and family members. But this year I got her (the wife) a Kindle Fire and a Keurig coffee maker. I don't drink coffee but she does a lot. And just think....I could have used that money to fund a trip to Arkansas to pick up a free pair of SDA 1B's from my brother! THAT is the definition of love! lol
