Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today on Judge Joe Show, plaintiff Christy issuing her husband
Henry after he had her open boxes only to find
her own Christmas gifts inside. She says the surprise was
ruined and she demands new presence. Henry says it wasn't
a big deal and Christy needs to get over herself.
(00:24):
Who's right? Court is now in session. All rise for
Judge Joe Show on ninety three to three FLZ.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So Christy, let me get this right.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
You want what you really wanted was to open up
presents on like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
What you're mad about? And tell me if I'm wrong?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You're mad that basically that Christmas morning moment has been
taken away from you.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, that's exactly okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Now let's bring on your husband, Hi, Henry?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
How are we doing?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What's up? Ma'am? Henry? Talk to me and you know,
let's Christy.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
If he says anything that you disagree with, just wait
and let him finish.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But why give her these gifts early? What happens?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Okay? Okay? Can I let me just tell you this
and explain it. I really love my wife, she works
hard and does so much. I really wanted to make
her holiday special. And I paid attention all year to
all the things she said she liked, all the things
she said she never by herself. So they're a little
bit too expectives, they were too pricey. I wanted to
make her so happy for this holiday season. I couldn't wait.
(01:46):
I knew what they were on the I knew what
they were on the porch. I knew it was her gift.
I just wanted to see her face light up when
she saw that I had gotten her all the things
that she had mentioned throughout the year. So I got
a little I don't know, I got too excited, and
I just let her open them when they came. I
just wanted to earn and feel special, Christy.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
And what are you looking for? You want them to
just like return the gifts and then re buy you
the gifts.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
No, I want different stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I want to be surprised, like, but you are willing
to like you don't want like double the gifts, you said.
And maybe maybe I'm wrong on this, but you want
him to return those gifts and basically like restart.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Yes, yeah, because like there was no problem with the gifts.
They were great, But I didn't want to just like
open boxes on the porch on a random day and
have this diffort Like what were you playing? You were
gonna re wrap them and have me open them again
on Christmas? Like what was the plan here? Okay, it
makes no sense?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
All right, well listen, let's uh, well, we'll talk more.
I'm interested on which side Ashley and Jed are going
to take. But eight hundred and four nine ninety three
ninety three. The most important person during this is you,
the jury. Eight hundred and four oh named ninety three
ninety three. This is a little complicated, but not really.
(03:10):
Just in case you're not understanding that, I'm gonna break
it down for you. So Henry gets his beautiful wife
Christy some gifts. He's excited about it. Christy was given
the gifts before. They weren't wrapped nothing. Here you go,
here's your gifts for Christmas, Christy. You want that special
(03:32):
moment of being able to unwrap your gifts. You know
there's nothing better. You're in your pj's, you're drinking a coffee,
you know, you're making pancakes, doing whatever you wanted that moment,
that moment stripped away from you. You don't want to
keep these gifts it's not like you're going, hey, I
went double the gifts. So just in case someone calls
in and goes she's selfish, she wants even more. No, no, no, no,
(03:55):
you just want to have that moment. Let's talk to
Amber first. Hey Amber, Hey, Hi Amber, Amber, you're run
with Christian Henry. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I think that.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
The problem with Christmas is the communism commercism, and that
she should be.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. She should be
very grateful that she has a husband who has paid
attention to the things that she wants, and he's gone
out of his way to buy her all of these things.
It doesn't matter whether he gave it to her now
or on Christmas Day. She's very blessed to have a
husband who loves her so much.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Right, Amber's on Henry's side. Hey, Jason, Jason, you are
on with Christy and Henry.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
I am on Henry's side? Actually for the simple fact that,
like the first person just said, it's an industrialized holiday.
It has no real meaning other than the big companies
making the situations where they have to buy stuff, figure stuff.
Fortunately stuff. Giving a gift is giving a gift that
shows low And even though Christmas is technically supposed to
(05:08):
be in June, which was the tax time in in
the old days, we've made it to where it's Christmas
in December. And that's all done by a big company.
So I'm on his side.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Wait a second, Christmas was in June.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Yeah, Jesus was originally born in June, and we're celebrating
the birth of Jesus. It's not Santa Claus going around
and delivering there that I think you're I think people
miss the forest for the trees on that one.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Wait, Jesus Christ was born in June.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
Joel.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Can we pause here, right here for a second. Joe,
let me think about it, Joe, we can pay say.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Joe and I had religion class back in high school,
and that was like one of the main things that
they taught us in our New Testament class, Yes, was
that Jesus was not born during the sept birth.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I must have missed that. I did not know either.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's crazy. Thank you, Thank you, Jason. I told you
I like Judge Josha for so many reasons. I'll talk
to you later, Love you, buddy.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Uh. Valerie, do you have my name? Valerie.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Of course, Valerie, not only do I know your names,
I know what you're doing right now, I know what
you're wearing, I know what you're thinking about. So get
your finger out of your nose. Hey, Valerie, whose side
are you on? Christy not too happy with her husband?
I mean, listen, you know, and I'm the jodge. I
(06:40):
really shouldn't be giving this side, but it does seem
a little disingenuine just to be like, here's your gifts, Like,
I'm not even gonna you think.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So what do you think, Valerie?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I'm on her side.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
I think that it's nice that he gave her beautiful gifts.
But I always tell my daughter, if you don't put
yourself up and have expectations, then you're gonna not be
happy unless so she has expectations. And he knows what
she married, but she married, so I'm on her side.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Thank you, Valerie. Aaron, whose side are you on?
Speaker 9 (07:15):
I'm on Christy's side. Like the magic of opening it
that day means so much, And for somebody who is
super hard, if I get somebody where I think it
is like the.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
Perfect gift for them.
Speaker 9 (07:28):
It's really hard for me to keep my mouth shut.
But I do because it matters to have that special
moment opening it that day on Christmas. I feel like
these other people must have had their Christmas's ruins when.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
They were.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Aaron.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I'm so I'm so happy you said that you're not alone.
I'm so surprised.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's so hard for me to surprise because I get
so excited about gifts.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's impossible, it really is.
Speaker 9 (08:00):
But I do.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I bite my tongue and I wait, and I wait,
I do it.
Speaker 9 (08:04):
What I do is I rab it the minute I
get it and put it on the tree, so I
can't do anything about Its smart.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You're smart. All right, thank you, thank you so much, Aaron.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I appreciate you, Ashley and Jed very very very very
very quickly, and then we'll come to our decision.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
I'm on her side, but I think that she should
have to wait until the original Christmas date, which is
in June.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I mean, but honestly, like you did, go out and
get these gifts. Just be happy that someone got you
a Christmas give Okay, all.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Right, well, listen, we have a rebuttal section that we
will definitely get to if we need to. And nine
seven seven two zero you can text in at the
end of the day, the judge and the judge has
come to a decision.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Ladies and gentlemen, here's what you gotta do, Henry.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I hope you have those receipts because listen, I know
it's a consumerism holiday or whatever, but at the end
of the day, it's your wife and there's something special about,
you know, watching her face light up and get excited.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And here's the deal. I'm not telling you how much
money you could spend.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Maybe it's a spiteful Christmas and you get her things
that were less expensive than what you originally bought her.
That's your call. At the end of the day, though,
that would be your seeds you sew or what do
they say you reap what you think? I don't know, Henry.
Buy your new gifts and wrap them all right, that's
