Celebration of a Different Kind

For Day 3906 7/24/2025

The issue here is if I did any purchases in July for Christmas or saw Christmas themed movies.
I used to do that. But with situations in my own family, that went south. I think that I tried to give the gifts but the gift was not appreciated. There was also a situation that lead to members being so mad at me that I was not invited to any celebration for about 4 years so that holiday is not pleasant for me. I don't even care to see a movie related to it.
Now that I am married, my dear husband do celebrate this holiday by attending church and exchanging gifts. But some men are hard to shop for. The "I don't need anything." response is a downer. But now we do make this day, a day of being together and exchanging gifts that are usually something we need or had hinted about. And believe you me, our hints are important. If we need to order from Amazon or a place that needs delivery time, we do it.
As of now, I have 3 consecutive events to buy something for. But I am even working on something now. (Today is Friday, August 1st) We do want to surprise and please each other. We have his family to celebrate with. We just count our blessings, go to church and talk about things in the past. There is a lot that I still want to learn about his family and childhood. He is a very kind and special man.
The three consecutive events are: wedding anniversary and Christmas in December and his birthday in January. I don't mind . He's worth it!
