Kate :

They don’t forget. They just don’t care.

Dawn 🍉 :

“If he wanted to, he would”…..

19ANNE73 :

as a teen, I started doing Santa gifts for my mom because I could see she was neglected

Amanda ✨ :

This year was my second year as a single mom, and the first that my child has really picked up on it. He looked at his presents under the tree and asked me where my gifts were. So, yeah, the children notice too.

Bria_Burrito :

I was married for 10 years, together for 15. Now divorced and single…. Legit no change between the two. I’d rather be single

NessaSaurus 💙 :

my daughter asked me today why Santa never brings me presents 😭

amyblair695 :

the bar is on the floor

Ria Barnett825 :

I saw a book at the used bookstore I was thinking of getting and when I went back it was already gone. I had mentioned it to my husband but - this is what I can't figure out - I couldn't remember the author's name or the title of the book. Just that it was a local author who we heard speak at the historical society meeting once in 2025. With only that to go on he found and bought the book! I have no idea how he got it correct, it was really a needle in a haystack. If they want to they can.

Theresa Barker :

It takes training…. In the first few years, I’d make my husband a wish list. After 20 years, now he’s a pro! This year I got a bottle of my favorite wine, Ghirardelli chocolates, and Burts Bees lip balm.

Wolvesfeather :

Mom handled stockings every year because she *loved* doing them. I always thought my dad was forgetful and didnt care. he always shopped on Christmas Eve for her and us. then suddenly this year he was in the hospital and he wanted to go AMA with *heart failure* because he didnt want her to not have gifts. so in order for him not to leave the hospital I told him to give me the list of what he wanted bought and I would go get it. he gave me the list of what he wanted to get her then when they released him just before dinner yesterday he paid me back and said thank you.

Pebbles90 :

being married makes you invisible to your husband

Nunette🇵🇷 :

yes. yes it does. it makes you invisible to absolutely every family member and childless friends too.

missymoonpie :

Mine handed me a 100$ bill and said get yourself something

CynthiaBee :

oh, they're not "forgetting"

My_3kan 🇺🇸🆘 🇳🇴 :

I stopped putting mine out years ago, I’m the only one who filled it anyway. It made me sad. This is the second year I didn’t put out my husbands.

Lady Pennington :

My dad always rallied us kids to help and made sure her stocking was STUFFED

Leslie Drake-Brown :

Yes, I never get anything in mine.

Fae Sutherland :

Napolepsy :

My husband is a great guy. He makes sure the stockings are full every year, mine included. This year, I was having a severe chronic pain flair. He did the majority of the shopping. Christmas Eve he went out and bought more gifts because he wanted to make sure Christmas was plentiful for everyone. I did a few hours of shopping for him and crocheted a scarf for him. I cooked, with lots of help from my daughter. My husband does all the decorations inside and outside too. I know I got really lucky.

Hanna Watts :

I always had to fill my own stocking

Crystal Moulder :

I’ve been married for 25 years and he has never done gifts for anything.

x :

I think this is how men are. I had to remind my bf to get me something and if he paid tarriffs. Then reminded him I was going to have nothing under the tree...so he went and bought me a rifle..... 😭(I never wanted a rifle???) im not complaining but he didnt even try this year AND I SENT HIM LINKS AND STILL HAD TO REMIND HIM.

Summer Kornegay :

It’s literally the least stressful part of Christmas.

AmandaPeterman55 :

Mine doesn’t

Carla :

Not the new normal. Just the normal normal.
