Mother Christmas . Any more out there?

I definitely have a Father Christmas in the house. Every year he asks for a wish list from our AC, including GC (only the one) and because he is known to be extravagant generous, the requests have been "jokingly" ramped up over the years.

Then every year he takes his nieces and nephew that live close to us, to the Boxing Day sales. (Made me wonder now about this year! I doubt he will do that).

Definitely Father Christmas. I buy or make the stocking fillers.

He is of course impossible to buy gifts for ...

I’ve always done all present buying and card sending it seems many wives take on the task.

DH. Only buys one present and that’s for me. He goes out Christmas Eve and then asks me if I have any wrapping paper ?.

I usually show him what I’ve bought but he wouldn’t remember, so I won’t bother this year. He doesn’t hate Christmas but he wouldn’t bother with it if I wasn’t around. No decs. No cards, no presents. Bah humbug!

For almost 50 years I have bought/wrapped/sent etc., all the pressies and cards for Christmas and birthdays and he has not got a clue or ever shown any interest. Sometimes I feel like leaving his name off the labels!

Another one here. Just going to do all the cards today. DH will be plugged in to his computer doing ‘stuff’ !!!!

The nearest my DH ever gets is to say, "Do you want to use my card to pay for it?" This is after I've done all the furtive enquiries about 'what he/she wants', after I've done all the research, looked online for the best place to buy it. He thinks 'we' are doing the present buying like this . Yes, another Mother Christmas here

I buy all the gifts on behalf of myself and DH, and my dil buys on behalf of her and my 1st DS, my other son used to split turns buying with his now ex partner. Dil quite progressive, but even she is clearly lumped with it too ? She does get DS to do all the cooking though which I’m jealous of!

Good Lord, my dh wouldn’t even think to ask - he just assumes that I’ll do it all!
To be entirely fair, he comes from an all-boy family where except for when they were small they never bothered with presents, for Christmas or birthdays or even birthday cards, still don’t.

I sent a card to eldest BiL for a Very Big Birthday - it was the only one he had! Even his wife and children didn’t bother, but that’s how they’ve always been.
Personally I think dh’s lot are boring old miseries in that respect (otherwise I do really like them) but each to their own.

What a lovely young man Casdon.

Oh yes!

I was always the Fairy Godmother too. Everything arranged and appeared as if by magic.

I live with my son, who’s just finished university, and has managed to get himself a part time job - yesterday he got his first pay packet. The first thing he did was to go online to buy his sister a Christmas present, and when he came home after work yesterday he’s got me a bar of chocolate, which I thought was lovely. I don’t know how it happened, but I think he will be a Father Christmas.

I'm also the birthday card/present fairy.

I'm definitely Mother Christmas lol.

Oh yes when we are thanked for a gift Mr. S. will whisper "what did we get them".
