CHRISTMAS SHOPPING STRESS

What if we all just shopped for our own gifts, and let people open them for us on xmas morning? We'd always get exactly what we want, in the right size/model/color. There wouldn't be much of a surprise involved, but I think it would save us money on crap gifts that we never take the time to return, or leave in the closet, or sell at a garage sale, or RE-GIFT(anyone else do this?) And think of the money you'd save...."yeah, Aunt Joan, you got me this oil filter and drain pan....thanks, I'm due for an oil change" Instead of a really nice terra-fucking- cotta wine chiller when you don't even drink wine. (got $5 for it at the garage sale)

...... wait a minute.....

Would your wife buy herself expensive jewelery from you?! Would your hubby buy himself a trip to the massage parlor?

....... hmmmm........I might need some help fleshing this out.
