<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Long story short, we have been on hard times the past 2 years or so.  The hub's was having job troubles and trying so hard...security job, salesman, etc.  I was paying most of the bills on my measly salary and we almost lost our house.  He finally landed a secure, management position in a warehouse.
I never realized that I was still in the mindset of "Ohmygodwe'resopoorwhenwillweeatagain" until the other night...we were discussing what we both wanted for Christmas.  All I could think of were house repairs that needed to be done, and responsible shit like that.  After about 2 hours of grilling me for something that I "wanted, not necessarily need, it's Christmas damnit", my husband finally came out and asked me if I would like a $600 shopping spree.  
After being broke for so long, I'm still in shock...I guess I had failed to realize the financial comfortableness that we had finally settled back into.  
I know that $600 may not seem like a ton of money to some people, but when you've spent the past few years or so wondering if you would have a roof over your head or food for your pups...it's a lot...A WHOLE FUCKING LOT...especially if you can afford to blow it all on Christmas.

I'm sorry this was so drawn out, but has anyone else had a similar experience....that sudden realization that, yes, it's finally ok?  I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
<bot>: After years of being poor, my husband is taking me on a shopping spree for Christmas.  I still can't believe it.
