So what to get a WW for christmas?
Tonight I went and got her some jewelry. A necklace and bracelet. She has always said she's likes bracelets and doesn't have many. Is that overboard?
She called me when I was shopping and I told her I just got down christmas shopping and picked up a gift for her.
She told me I shouldn't have (like everyone does.)
I said it's too late now, besides I wanted to.
Is that the right approach. What is everyone else doing about Christmas and the gift scenerio?

I will get my husband a gift and maybe make one as well. I know he'll be getting me one. We did last year too. I'm tempted not too since what I really wanted was to spend it together and we're not..but I just can't do that. Like you, I just want to so I will.

I was fortunate to have a really short Plan A. But what worked well for me was to do what I felt like doing. If you felt like getting her gifts, do so. If not, don't. Just be honest with your own emotions.

Do you think jewelry is too much? I never really bought her jewelry before because she is really picky about it.

Since husband is STILL wayward and is making NO attempt to have a M w/me..I am not buying him anything...no card, Nothing...
It was very painful while shopping buying for everyone and seeing things I know he'd like and not buying them for him..For 12 years I've shopped for him - it's hard to let go of that..I actually teared up in the stores trying to accept my M/life as it is..That since exposure last March thru Sept. everything has gotten WORSE...
I did buy him birthday gifts in Sept - which he never opened and told me they go in the trash or I can return them...
So why get slapped in the face again...The only thing he'd really like is an unlimited supply of pre-paid phone cards to call all his bimbo's....Maybe I will get him one..it would be a MAJOR LB - But, we aren't in Plan A or B...will be on Plan D...eventually..Give me strength..to go there...
