Pretty much. Honestly though, the big holidays are pretty chill for us. All the big family called a truce for adults. We all get stuff just for the little kids. We usually end up busting out the LCR dice game for dollars or doing like a White Elephant gift exchange thing for adults at Christmas. I just get annoyed by the fervor of other stuff, where you're just expected to buy shit for literally no reason. My wife really isn't into 'stuff' for the most part. The only things she really buys like clothes or whatever, I would never pick for her. She doesn't wear much jewelry. So, I've just resorted that she enjoys going to the spa and that makes it pretty easy. I gave up trying to be creative a few years ago, because, she'd really rather just get a massage and relax without the kids for a few hours.Isn't that what they all are? Just wait... the annoyance *continues* to get worse. Xmas is, by far, the most irritating.
