At least a million Hallmark movies are about husbands waiting until the last minute to buy the perfect gift for 'that special someone'. Entertaining as they may be, those movies aren't entirely realistic. Portrayed as goofy and forgetful in the movies, real-world husbands are often quite the opposite.

Have you ever woken up to your morning alarm and thought, ‘I don’t feel like working today'? Most of the working class has felt this to some degree. The urge to quit your job without notice is so strong for some that they'll even call in sick or fake a doctor's appointment just to avoid another moment in the workplace. I get it, some days can be rough. But what about Christmas? Is that a day that anybody can bail on after waking up on the wrong side of the bed?
