The Christmas Dilemma

So, Christmas is almost here (a week and a few days to be exact), and the holiday dilemma has hit me. I have been searching for that perfect gift for my wonderful wife, but I am having a tough time figuring out what to get her. I love her immensely, and I know she loves me the same (but more today since it is an even, inside thing), and no mater what I get her she will love it. But there is always that desire to get the "perfect gift."

The rest of the family is taken care of. That was pretty easy. Most of my side told me what they wanted, and Beverly knew what most of her side wanted. This has allowed me to focus on what to get my wife, which is nice, but it doesn't make it a whole lot easier.

What is going on in the back of my mind when I try to figure out what to get her is the gift that I though she would like, but it was a bomb (for the most part). A year ago and a bit, I got her a set of DVDs that were French movies. They had received decent reviews, and my wife liking French, I figured how could I go wrong. Well, the movies weren't that great, actually they were bad, well one was OK, but overall a bad present. I have tried not to repeat that event. She tells me that it was OK, and that it didn't matter, but I don't want it to happen again (at least for a while, one a year is not a good thing).

So, I am still thinking and time is running out. Friday I am going to spend some time looking around for something. I am praying that God will lead me to the "right present." I am sure it will all work out. If I don't write again before the holiday - Merry Christmas!
