my current bf is great about helping out. he's not into cleaning, but he'll do it if i (or my MOM) need it. typically though, he runs errands and shuffles boxes of stuff around for us while we clean/cook/whatever.
for the second year in a row, he's helped me put the tree up (well, sorta helped me...i'm kinda picky about my tree so he sorts the branches and hands them to me as i need them and keeps me company while i string up the lights).
he's not so great at picking out presents, so i tend to do all that. but he'll go to the store and get them if i tell him exactly what he needs to buy. all in all, i really can't complain. the things he hates doing tend to be things i don't mind so much (except dishes...oh how i hate holiday dishes) or things i really enjoy (christmas cards and wrapping gifts).
my dad is about the same. i really feel for my brother's fiance though....i think he's rotten about helping out. a cattle prod couldn't get him moving half the time! but hey, it works for them so who am i to judge?
