For christmas day, I was thinking of giving my kids maths puzzles instead of gifts, and for my wife I would compose a list of ways that she has angered or saddened me in the last year (although she has hinted at a necklace). Is this a way forward for a family christmas?

Are you joking...?
No i wouldn't, kids are young they've got plenty of time to do maths puzzles. What are they going to say to their friends when they go back to school?
"Hey what did you get?"
"An Xbox 360 and a new phone how about you?"
"Oh some great maths puzzles"
You think this is the way to your childrens happiness? NO.
Do you understand women...
If you wrote a list including what has angered and saddened you she will get very angry and stressed with you and cause a big row which will ruin everyones (including the kids) christmas.
How about normal toys for the kids and a necklace for your wife. A little more expensive but worth it.

I don't mind the maths puzzles
but what's up with composing a list of ways she has angered or saddened you?
Would you like it if she did that?
Come on, everyone loses it sometimes, and the fact that you want to compose such a list tells her that you haven't forgiven her for what she has done, and that's super mean on your part.
Why spoil the happiness of christmas with such a negative aspect? You'll ruin the whole family day.

do you anger easily or is she really all that bad? if so write her a list of the goods and the bads see which one outweighs the other.educational things are good too in that they can help the children to keep up in school, the necklace can be a thank you for giving you children, but not expensive.I've been very good and haven't received any necklace,or anything else that was expensive

I don't think they would be to happy to be honest....mostly your wife! Christmas isn't a time to bring up negative things....if your going to make a list do something like reasons you love her or things you are thankful for. That would mean more and you won't turn Christmas into a big fight!
Good Luck

Nope, get the gifts that make them happy. They will be happy to be with you.
Discuss the relationship you need to discuss with the wife, behind close doors, not to embarrass her. Not in a public place. Don't bring in the kids unless they agree with you against her behavior and the kids want to talk about it to.
Maybe a family meeting.

If that's what you want, that would be fine. It wouldn't be surprising if your wife left you, but I think your kids would get over it. I'm 16 and wouldn't mind just getting a few little things for Christmas.

I am all for alternative gifts - but somehow I don't think your wife will appreciate a list of ways she has angered you.
Maybe a list of ways she has made you happy would be nicer.
Why would you want to do that to your family, don't you love them.

Perhaps the children could be spared the animosity you seem to have for your wife? Christmas, love, peace etc??? Think it out carefully.

Holidays are about tradition. I think the kids will be hurt. You should do your plan next month slowly insted of at once. Give your wife what she wants, its safer for everybody.
