I mean everything, from choosing (and buying) presents, to tree, decorations, food etc.
Because mine is acting like it's all got nothing to do with him and I'm getting the impression that (once again) it's all up to me to organise, think about and actually do.
And then, come Christmas Eve, he will suddenly think of random people he would like presents for, go rushing off to get expensive, badly-thought-out last minute gifts for them, while I get nothing, and ds gets what I've chosen and bought.
I don't mind the organising and doing, actually, I'm happy to be the one getting stuff, but I would like him to be involved in at least the choosing and deciding. And I've specifically asked him if there is anyone he would like to get gifts for this year (apart from those we always do) and he's said no. Yet I am willing to put money on the above scenario occuring come the 24th...
Is it just my dh who is like this? Has Christmas become something women do, without me noticing?
Or have you all got cheery dh's who wear lumberjack shirts while heading out to the forest with the kids to chop down the family Christmas tree, before coming home to make mulled wine for everyone and then spend the evening wrapping presents that you've lovingly chosen together? (am making myself jealous just thinking about it )
