I hate it when my wife asks me what I want for Christmas. Seriously, do I give her an honest answer so she’ll spend too much on the kids and me? (If that’s the way it has to be, have it be in that order.) Or do I tell her what she wants to hear. “Oh, I just picked out a couple of books I need for work and school on my Amazon Wish List…” and hope she doesn’t go overboard and buys all of them this year.
Simultaneously she’s thinking the same thing. “Do I tell Eric what I really want for Christmas, or do I just put a few things I really need on my Amazon wish list?”
