[quote=Anonymous]If you saw a snapshot of us you would say it was the perfect family Christmas--big tree, stockings, decorations, carols, and millions and millions of presents. What you wouldn't see is the incredible amount of headache and expense that goes into it, and particularly the obscene amount of money that is wasted on useless gifts by people who really can't afford to do it. Literally, everyone (including adults) will probably open at least 20 gifts each, plus stockings. A few of the family members are really having a tough time financially, and it's difficult to see them waste their money on so much crap. We've tried to introduce the concept of buying just one nice gift for each person but it was not received well. This is my DH's family and this is how they've always done it. [/quote]
