This year we are poor. Which is kind of sad around Christmas--because it means you have to have the "we can't spend a lot of money so don't get me anything" talk.
We got small gifts for the kids, though--luckily they are young enough that they don't have any demands and will be thrilled with any new toy.
Of course, it almost goes without saying, that I got my husband a little gift anyway, but he doesn't know.
So last night, cleaning up in the kitchen and talking about Christmas, my husband turns to me and says: "You know I haven't done any shopping, right? You know, so you aren't disappointed on Christmas."
Me: "Well, when you say it like THAT it sounds kind of sucky. Now I will be disappointed. In fact, I am going to start feeling disappointed right now. You know how I like to get a head start on things."
Really? Nothing? not even my favorite coffee creamer? not even a creative coupon book? a love letter?
Maybe someone can send him a memo, for future reference, that "don't get me anything" NEVER REALLY means "get me (absolutely-freaking) NOTHING." There must be a slight semantic difference there, right?

Uch. I know. My husband can be very gift-challenged. Hope he surprises you somehow--even in the smallest sweetest way.
