Every year we exchange, via the postal service, a Christmas package between California and Massachusetts to keep in touch with dear friends who we don’t see often enough.
On our end, I decide on the purchase.
And I am guessing that on the East Coast end it is my girlfriend making the decision.
Therefore, there is often a feminine undertone to the selection.
This year I sent a gift box of Summer Citrus Scents so they could anticipate warm weather as it looks like they are in for a long winter (Logan airport has been cancelling flights due to blizzard conditions).
She sent a beautiful set of pewter measuring spoons because she knows I love to cook.
Following is the tongue-in-cheek text exchange between our husbands this weekend.
East Coast husband: Thanks for the xmas present of body wash and assorted hand lotions. Will really come in handy :).
West Coast husband: I just LOVE the measuring spoons! Can't wait to bake today instead of watching football.
East Coast husband: Thought you would like those. Merry Christmas :)
Next year, the guys can do the shopping.
