My X-Mas bonus is burning a hole in my pocket! I want to go buy me a mini RIGHT NOW but figure I better at least wait until Santa comes and goes. You never know, and I'd hate to ruin my X-Mas if a mini were to happen to show up under my tree. If Christmas Day comes and goes and there is still no mini ... you can bet your azz I will be chasing Santa's tail lights all the way to my local BGE dealer to make my purchase on a mini! =))

    Make sure to smile, no matter how much it hurts, if you get a tie.
    Great that you have a backup path!

    You can use the tie to hang tools on.

    But she did get run over by one.

    Even with too much eggnog, hit-and-run is always a crime.

    This is easily solved by saying, "Honey, I'm going to go pick up a mini since I need it for the Christmas dinner cook."

    Spouse freaks out and says no => You got a mini waiting already
    Spouse doesn't say anything => Go to the dealer before they close and pick it up

    I do what @yzzi says all the time.  If my wife has it she typically gets angry and gives me the gift at that moment. 
    I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.

    You really need to try and remove yourself from an abusive relationship like that

    I'm feeling somewhat the same. I'm saddened and embarrassed by how little I have used my Large since I got it early this year. Less than 10 times and my logic is (there's just me and my wife) I'd be more likely to fire up a mini more frequently. Good luck on waking to a rotund piece of green porcelain under your tree.

    Oh, I'm using the heck outta my XL! I just feel that the nights I don't want to fire my XL ... I could at least cook a little sumthin sumthin on the Mini. I really think the Mini would get lotsa use just for sides around my house. Whole baked potatoes, Asparagus, Mixed veggies, Burgers, etc., etc. I eventually would like a Medium also. :D I just think the Mini should come 1st because it will see more use.
