[quote=Anonymous]You each need to call your own parent and tell them. I have tried to say no presents, but it really backfired on me. I got called a grinch, no fun and my parents refused to spend my birthday and Christmas with me and my kids because of it. My parents (who actually are religious!) said that there was no point to spending Christmas with someone who didn't exchange gifts. Anyways, what worked better for us was a $50 limit. I give a lot of gift cards instead. Just as easy as no gifts, but I don't get hassled. I refuse to participate in the nuclear gifts race where we each try to out gift the other person. My inlaws have started spending $300 on each of us even though we asked them not to. My SIL has started spending that much on them, but I just don't want to. Why do adults need gifts that expensive for every birthday and Christmas? [/quote]
