This is mine and my fiance's first christmas together. I have two children and he has 1. I have never really had the money to get alot of christmas for my children. I have always ended up going to dollar tree to get all of their things. But they are young so they never really new the difference any way. But this being the first christmas together he said that he wanted to make sure that it was a christmas to remember with the kids. His son has never really had a good christmas due to his ex. So we went to wallmart and he ended up spending a lot of money on all three of the kids. I just couldnt believe that he done that. I have never seen a man do something like that. My ex never went shopping at all he did not have a driver's licens. I even had to buy my own christmas presents and put them under the tree. I have tried to do that this year because i keep forgetting that i dont have to now. He has even already got some things for me and it is really hard to get use to that. Has anyone else ever had this done to them? Has anyone else ever had a man spend alot of money or more money then you would have ever spent?

Thank you for your response. I do have to say no man will ever compare to daddy's lol. I have been tryin to explain to my chdren that the gifts have nothing to do with Christmas. It's all about being able to spend time with family. And as long as you have your family that's all that matters. My five year old son even looked at me the other night and said yeah I love you and my daddy and my real daddy lol it was so cute. He is so excited that his real daddy is going to be able to come and see him for Christmas. Hope you have a great Christmas as well.

I'm very glad to hear it. Family means everything at this time of year. No matter what has happened through the year this is the time of year that you can put things behind you and just have great family time. Thank you for your response and have a great Christmas with your family.

What a generous man!
I've had two men spend a lot of money during the holidays, but it really didn't make me like Christmas any more than I already did. My ex husband used to spend a lot at the holidays, but the things he purchased were that-just things. Much of what he did get wasn't even my taste, but HE liked enough and would keep it for himself. My current boyfriend buys things for me at the holidays, but we don't always have enough money in our budget. Or he buys things that are so NOT me!

Thank you very much for your respons. Yeah I'm not sure that every man is meant to buy for women lol. My man did at least go to the store with me and if he saw something he thought I might like he would ask me if I liked it. He didn't buy anything while I was with him but he has done his shopping while I was with him just sitting in the car waiting on him. He is very very good when it come to him buying for me lol. But we expect this to be a great Christmas no matter what has happened in the last year and also this month. I hope you have a great Christmas holiday.

Thank you for your response. We are all looking forward to spending great family time with each other. That's all I told the kids I wanted for Christmas was for them to be with me all day long. They looked at me and told me that they would do that cause they live me that just made my Christmas so much better. I hope you have a great Christmas holiday with your family.

This is my 2nd year with my boyfriend for Christmas, I'm not used to having a boyfriend buy me anything he is the first to buy me gifts for Christmas. Last year for are first Christmas together he got me a laptop and I got him a new phone he wanted. I already know what he is getting me this year. It's nice to celebrate Christmas with someone you love and your family. I'm glad you found a good guy and he did that for you and your kids that's great. I'm happy their going to have a wonderful Christmas this year. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your response. I am very glad that this will be a great Christmas for my children with everything that has happened in the last year I think this will be really great. They are excited that their real daddy is planning to come see them. But most of all they are excited that me and their step dad will be here on Christmas morning and wake up together. Their step dad was scheduled to work on Christmas and then got a thing saying that he did have to work. They were all so happy when we told them the good news cause they looked so sad when we told them that he had to work so he wouldn't be able to really do a hole lot.
