A Christmas gift for your wife, written about her

A Christmas gift for your wife gets harder every year, mostly because she's the one buying everyone else's. She knows which teacher likes peppermint bark and which nephew outgrew his boots. So turn it around this December. A song about her Christmas, from the posole on Christmas Eve to the year she's had, is one present she didn't have to plan herself.

What to put in the story

What to put in a Christmas song for your wife

Every service asks for the story differently. Whatever form you get, these are the details that make it sound like them and not like a greeting card.

Her Christmas Eve

She makes her nana's posole in a pot so big it has to cool on the back steps.

What she does for everyone

By December 20 every teacher, bus driver and neighbor has a tin of her shortbread on their porch.

The year she had

In October she passed her nursing boards after two years of night classes at the kitchen table.

How she wraps

She wraps everything in brown paper and draws a different silly face on every kid's tag.

Your first Christmas

Our first Christmas the tree came from the drugstore, two feet tall, sitting on top of the TV.

What she misses

She's always last to open anything, because she's busy watching everyone else open theirs.

When to order a Christmas song

Early November

Choose a service from the picks above and write down her December, from the shortbread tins to the posole.

Before Thanksgiving

Place the order with her name and the year she's had, before the holiday rush fills things up.

Mid-December

Listen alone and check names and spellings. Ask for a change, if the service offers one, where a line doesn't sound like her.

Christmas morning

Hand her the song first, before she starts on breakfast for everyone, and make her sit down for it.

Questions

What are good Christmas gifts for my wife when she says she wants nothing?

Something she can't buy herself and didn't have to organize. A song about her does both. It says you saw the year she had and the work she puts into December for everyone else. Pair it with something small to unwrap if she likes opening things.

Should the song be romantic or about the whole family?

Mostly about her, with the family around the edges. Give a verse to her traditions and one to the year she had, then end on what you want her to know. If the kids want in, give them one line each. Too many voices and it stops sounding like a song for her.

When should I order a Christmas song for my wife?

In November if you can. December fills up fast for most services, and you want time to listen before Christmas. Ordering early also means you aren't wrapping it at midnight on the 24th, which she would notice, because she notices everything.

What if she cries on Christmas morning?

She probably will, a little. Plan for it. Give it to her early, before the kids tear into everything, or after they've gone off with their new stuff. Let it play to the end. Then hand her coffee and let her be quiet for a minute.

Find the one that sounds like them.

Pick a service and jot down three of the details above. That's enough to start.
