My husband is getting on my nerves like you wouldn't believe - over Christmas presents.
Christmas for me is a time of wonder, a time for family being together, a time to eat good food, and have a bit of chocolate. It's a time to relax, enjoy the pretty lights and the christmas carols.
I really cannot be bothered with what I get for presents. There is nothing I want or need, but am always really grateful for whatever I am given. I have no pre-conceptions about what I will be receiving - it's not about the gifts for me. Having said that I always try to buy nice things for my husband and step-son, because they put more interest in the gifts.
As Christmas rolls into view - the only question I am asked several times a day is 'What do you want for Christmas?'. I keep saying 'I really don't care what you get me - I am happy for anything'. But that's not enough - my husband harps on about it and it's really getting on my nerves!!
It's ruining the wonder of Christmas for me!

What you don't understand is that the reason your husband is so consumed with Christmas presents is because he take pride in the fact that he buys you exactly what you want,and when you open your present the look on your face makes it worthwhile to him,and by you saying it doesn't matter to you what you get is ruining the wonder of Christmas for him

awwwwww....:) he just wants to please you. make you really happy...he loves you a lot and he's probsbly afraid that you wouldnt like his gift and pretend that you do. he just really cares about you. just tell him how you really feel. maybe even show him this question. it might help. and he won't "bother you anymore... good lck always and merry christmas! haha!!:)
BTW, all my life, i've come to know that boys have a really hard time in buying and choosing christmas gifts. they always seem to ask what you want. give him a chance. just tell him the truth on how you feel about his asking. tell him that you know he's creative and that it would make you more than happy to be surprised on whatever he gives you. just like the guy above, i think he really just wants to make you extremelly happy for christmas by giving you what you want. (besides, im sure EVERYONE has a secret wish for a christmas presents.):))

tell him it is the wonder of the time of year and the great love of the fellow man all that is packaged in a beautiful box and wonderfully tied up with the sounds of the angels glorifying the one true king. tell him that what ever he gets you will be wonderful as long as he will be there to share it with you.

Tell him it's Jesus' birthday, not yours, so it's really no big deal. That even nothing would be appropriate, and you'd love him anyway.
