Then there was the year that all my wife wanted for Christmas was a new vacuum cleaner. Got her a real nice one, too, for what I was getting paid that year, which wasn’t much (but is more than what I’m getting paid now;’ thank you, Barry and Marty). Opened it at her mom’s place on Christmas Eve (her mom was Austrian by birth, as is she; opening presents on Christmas Eve is the custom). Her sister jumped my @$$ and started screaming about how insulting a gift it was. My wife shut her down in an hurry when she told her sister that the vacuum cleaner was exactly what she wanted.

I saw the wife wrapping up a riding crop and a pair of spurs, so I’m betting she bought me a pony.

One year we got the dog next door a light-up ball. She had a great time with it! (her family got her the new leash)
