Partners

Do you give your other half gifts at Christmas ?
In one months time we will have been married 48 years .
So it seems a bit pointless TBH.
Just a token will do ,it is all about the G/C now to us.

Re: Partners

we've been married 42 years and we always give each other a gift but over the past couple of years we've stopped buying cards and just saved the ones from the previous years and put them up LOL.

Re: Partners

Of course we exchange gifts!

Not just for Christmas, but also Hanukkah too.

It gets more difficult with time but apart from being traditional it's part of the fun.

Re: Partners

We wouldn't dream of not giving each other presents and cards at Christmas even after 47 years .... and our presents are never 'silly little' ones.

Re: Partners

We sometimes buy surprises for each other but mostly buy our own items and say they can be wrapped up as Christmas presents.

It's just for appearances sake on Christmas Day when the family are with us and unwrapping their presents.
