My Husband Threw $50 at Me and Said, ‘Make a Lavish Christmas Dinner for My Family — Don’t Embarrass Me!’

When my husband tossed a crumpled $50 bill on the counter and told me to “make a lavish Christmas dinner,” I had two choices: feel insulted or make him regret his words. I chose the latter.

Every year, Greg insists on hosting Christmas for his family, but this time, he took it a step too far. After dismissing my plans with a $50 bill, I decided it was time to teach him a lesson. Instead of simply cooking, I meticulously planned a Christmas dinner that would leave him speechless.

I secretly hired a catering team, used my personal savings, and set up an extravagant feast. Greg was clueless, thinking I was struggling to stretch his $50. When Christmas Day arrived, the house looked like a holiday masterpiece. The family was impressed by the spread, and Greg proudly boasted about my “resourcefulness.”

But the real surprise came after dessert. I thanked Greg for his “generous contribution” of $50, then revealed that the dinner actually cost $750. His face turned bright red as I detailed how he had tried to diminish my efforts. To top it off, I handed him a receipt for a spa weekend I’d booked for myself, as my reward for pulling off the dinner on his “budget.”

Greg spent the rest of the night scrubbing dishes while I enjoyed my victory.
