Ah the joy of anticipation. My husband was a spontaneous person, and loved to surprise people. It took years to convince him that I had more joy in knowing plans as I could savour in advance as well as during and afterwards. This can apply to many no cost events, like walking a trail or having neighbours over for coffee. Eventually he stopped trying to surprise me ( and started surprising our children in law instead!)
