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.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.
