Hmmm let me think about it honey, well guys I thought about it on my way to pickup all I need to service my tractor . I let her know lastnight she may want to call our daughters and see if they want to go as Ill be busy servicing the Kubota. Whoa that was a close one !!!!!!!!

My Wife doesn't ask me to go Christmas shopping......You see, I worked at UPS for 30 years and Christmas was NOT my favorite time of the year!

Oh dern right! first things first!
It always works out I'm doing tractor work/maintenance before shopping on the way home. Then I go shopping smelling of diesel fuel and sweet 90W gear lube. If a "lady" in her finest froo-froo gives me that look, I look her in the eye casually, sniff the air and ask, "Is that cookies I smell? yummmm.":D

I guess I really have it made. My wife would rather be outside with me servicing the tractors instead of shopping. She hates shopping just as bad as I do.

The wife and I after some intense bible/history study came to the conclusion that christmas (and easter) is purely pagan......we nolonger celebrate.

And since then we have been stress free......truely a relief. :)
