Christmas

[ladynorbert]

So yesterday, very unexpectedly, I bought Kevin's Christmas present.

I was in Sam's Club for something else, and was on my way to the register with my single purchase when I saw IT. The most glorious collection of DVDs I could imagine.

It was A&E's English classics! Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Horatio Hornblower, Tom Jones, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Victoria and Albert -- all in one package! Only ninety dollars! How I longed to buy it!

And I might have, except that I then saw what was next to it on the shelf. Being the good little wife I sometimes am, I bought that instead.

It was another box set of DVDs -- all of the however many there are Star Trek films, including the director's cut of the original. It was a hundred bucks, but considering that we're talking about ten or so DVDs, that's really quite reasonable. And when I imagined Kevin's fanboy glee on Christmas morning when he unwraps the package and sees that I bought him Boxed Geekness, well, I couldn't pass that up.

Now the only trick will be hiding it until Christmas. At the moment it's in a place I know he'd never look...let's see how long that holds true. He's so difficult to surprise.

I am assuming, as this entry is public, that Kevin does not ever check your LJ?

I'm getting Bill a Disney honeymoon for Christmas. I hope he's not expecting anything else. :)

Hehe. No, Kevin never reads my LJ, except occasionally over my shoulder. I'm not sure he even knows THIS LJ exists.

Could you hide it at work in your desk? That's what I'm planning to do with my husband. :D

If only there was room in my desk! But that's a good idea.

You have a very lucky husband. :) It is so nice that you did that!

Well, in fairness, I am a very spoiled wife. So sometimes I have to give back.

You did what I could not have done--passed up the A&E. ^_^ Especially with Jane Eyre in the collection.

But yay that you are such a considerate wife and a sweet soul. ^_^
