I received the most special gift this Christmas. My husband, Chris, was holed up in our garage most nights since November, feverishly working on a secret project for me. He's never attempted woodworking before, but tackled this project with absolute determination. I'm a huge space geek, and have been fascinated with the night sky almost all of my life. I've talked of wanting a good telescope, and it would have been very easy for him to just make a stop by the store to pick one up. That he spent weeks working on this for me makes it the most special gift I've ever received.
Watching him get so excited about the project's progress and work through difficulties and come up with ingenious solutions of his own was so much fun. My only disappointment was that I couldn't be out in the garage working with him. When he unveiled the telescope on Christmas Eve, I was stunned and very excited. When I looked through the eye piece and gazed upon the moon - crystal clear and full of gorgeous craters - I started crying.

So I ask you guys, what did you give/make the Wife for Christmas? MO? Christo? Camaro?

Amazing X. This year we (the Mrs. and I) decided on just allotting money to each other for purchasing our own gift. I did get her a Starbucks giftcard and printed up some "I Love You" cd's (4) that I have yet to put love songs on:
really We did not do much, other then watch our boys open presents. Here is my youngest happily opening some.
