[quote=Anonymous]Now is the time to let others know if you would like to opt out of gift giving next Christmas. Organized people start their gift shopping now and buy things as they see them. If you aren't going to be seeing these friends and family this spring, send an Easter card and add a short line that you are cutting back on gift giving this coming December to simplify your life. Or say you will only be giving gifts to young children from now on. Then say you look forward to sharing a meal with them to catch up on your lives. If you have always gone to grandma's house for Thanksgiving or Christmas and want to start a tradition of staying at home, let the grandparents know now. If you want just you and the kids, say you would like to celebrate with them the Sunday before Thanksgiving or the Saturday after Christmas. Or that you welcome them to visit at your house on the holiday, if that's how you feel. Give them 8 or 9 months to digest the news.[/quote]
