Dang! I wish I'd known that 50 years ago. I Sure could've saved a bunch of money.
ROFL!
Having a wife who doesn't expect me to break the bank on frivolous crap is a great bless for which I thank the Almighty LORD every single day... multiple times if I piss her off!
I tend to get into the crass commercial spirit of both Valentine’s Day and Halloween. It is Father’s Day and Mother’s Day when I go bare bones.
This year I didn’t buy any gold jewelry but got my wife, mother-in-law, and children big silly heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, top-quality stuffed bear, and chocolate brands including Godiva, Whitman’s, Russell-Stover, Gheradeli, Toblerone, and M&Ms. Included some spendable gifts too. I’m cheap with cards because I usually make my own.
