I am kind of ruthless in that regard, if I tell you well in advance that I'm not giving presents this year as its not in the budget and frankly I find the whole thing a little over the top and you still buy me something, that's on you. I won't feel bad. Well, I will, a little, but I'll build myself a bridge and get over it. My husband's family are wayyy more into Christmas than mine is. We're more spend the day together type people and eat ourselves silly and then nap.
My family has always kept it simple which I really enjoy. The precedent in my husband's family is that you buy every adult and child a personal gift. So it's like we'd just be sitting there while everyone opens gifts and the kids would freak because we didn't get them anything. Ugh, I'm just not going this year.

Wow yeah, that's over the top. Like everyone is an adult and should know the meaning of Christmas doesn't revolve around presents. No one above like 18 gets presents unless they're your kiddos and then that's your call. My parents have previously given me cash, but I don't expect it and they don't expect presents either. Best gift I can give them is to be home and hanging out (which unfortunately, I'm an ocean and a bit away this year :().

Your family's way sounds great. I used to really enjoy Christmas but now it's a stress fest. I'm sorry you won't be able to go home for Chrismas this year. :(

Pay seems a bit low for what they want you to do?
