Mom told me on the way home from church tonight that Dad had gone out and bought her Christmas present this morning, but that she had forgotten to get him something. And in fact had forgotten what he said he wanted. I offered to go online and order him a TSC gift card.
When we got to the house she said something about getting him a new chore coat, and he said he didn't need one and pulled a new Carhardt out of the closet. Then he pulled me aside and said that Mom had told him that she wanted perfume for Christmas. He had gone to the drugstore but didn't know which one. Did I know how to pick perfume? My advice was smell them and pick one you like. His solution was to hand me cash so I could pick something out. This was after 9 tonight.
Now I know that my mom likes Chanel No. 5. They sell don't that at Walgreens. And my Dad confessed tonight that he sent home lots of Chanel when he was stationed in France in the 1950's. He says it was $15 a bottle in France and $50 a bottle in the US at the time, so all the women in the family loved it. I pointed out that Chanel was a bit more expensive than that these days.
White Diamonds is what she will be getting tomorrow. His gift card will arrive in the mail. Me I still need to finish a mitten and wrap everything. The sweater will be in pieces and on the needles. Three out of four pieces are complete.
Hope your Christmas Eve is wonderful and Christmas is joyous. Merry Christmas.
