[quote=Anonymous]I'm really shocked at how people are piling on the OP. She's selfish, she wants Christmas her way and buying gifts for other people forces them to buy gifts. How is this any different than what her ILs are doing? They don't want to buy gifts and so they are forcing others not to buy gifts, too? Maybe I'm like OP. I love presents - planning for them, wrapping them, giving them. And yes, I love receiving them too. It's fun to make other people smile, it's wonderful to have a wish of your own granted, or even to see what awful thing your parent or in-law picked out for you. I can't wait to start getting those school crafts as gifts from my child and to help DC make gifts for the grandparents and see their excitement at a macaroni collage of a Christmas tree. Why not!? It is unfortunate that the ILs made a unilateral decision rather than putting it out for discussion amongst what appears to be a pretty small group of adults. OP, the only thing I can think of is that maybe there is something else going on that you aren't aware of. A financial or health issue that they haven't yet shared with you. Merry Christmas![/quote]
