THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
My husband asked me what I wanted for Christmas like he does every year. Usually, I have a nice list of easy things for him to get and he chooses something from the list and then gets creative with other gifts around that one thing. It's awesome. He's a good gift-giver when he is pointed in the right direction. This year, I gave him ONE thing. I want matching tattoos. But each would have a different line from the same song that is about how much we love each other. The song is the first dance of our wedding. We both love the song. It's our song. But he said he didn't want a matching tattoo or any tattoos. He says he hates tattoos overall, thinks they're trashy, and matching tattoos are goofy. He said his buddies would make fun of him. I told him he could get his on his ankle or lower back where nobody would see it. He still said no. This is all I want for Christmas. Am I asking for too much?
Signed
Easy To Please

In the poll of 2,000 US holiday travelers, a third (34%) said they don’t count traveling home for the holidays as a true “vacation.” On the other hand, 71% said they’d likely need a separate vacation afterward to unwind and relax. While some indicated they would find some “me” time while away, to perhaps book a spa day, 6 in 10 still said they’ll likely feel exhausted by the end of the trip. And 43% said that when visiting family, they’ll inevitably end up feeling like they’re being parented as if they were a kid again.

Here’s a new celeb couple: Kevin Costner and . . . Jewel? The “Yellowstone” star seemingly couldn’t keep his hands off the folksy singer in cozy new pictures of the pair. TMZ obtained photos of Jewel, who is 49, speaking into a microphone as 68-year-old Costner wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile. Sources said their relationship is “rather new.” The duo was in the British Virgin Islands for a week last month as part of a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s winner’s Inspiring Children Foundation.

Britain’s loneliest reindeer is “glowing like Rudolph” after finding a mate in time for Christmas. Owner Suzie Wright says it was love at first sight for 4-year-old Sven and 3-year-old Daisy. She had launched a desperate bid to find him a friend when his previous stable-mate Klaus died in September, leaving him heartbroken. Suzie thought Sven, a natural herd animal, might die from loneliness, but she managed to raise £4,000 (US$5,000) from donors to ship Daisy 300 miles to Sven’s cozy barn in Hull. And she reports that the love-struck pair have since become inseparable, sharing food and cuddling up together during cold winter nights.

A major UK retailer has a solution for those who have no idea what to buy someone on their Christmas list. Online gift shop “Not On The High Street” has recruited a psychic for the season, who claims to be able to accurately reveal the perfect gift for those who seem impossible to buy for. In her newly created role of “head of gifting insights,” renowned clairvoyant Inbaal Honigman is providing personalized readings for shoppers in need of help. To take advantage of the TV astrologer’s services, customers need to answer 4 questions on the retailer’s website about the person they’re struggling to buy for. The service was launched after a study found 45% of adults suffer from ‘holi-dread’ – that’s anxiety over what gifts to buy.
