[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this no time to shop, wrap, etc.? It's not like they moved Christmas this year. It's the same day every year. I had my plan in place in September, finished shopping by the first week in December. Decide what people to buy gifts for, set a budget, make a plan. You did have time; you wasted it.[/quote]

well it's obviously not a priority for me.  And we don't all have your time. I work over 100 hours a week, manage to keep my family going, and I'm not even Christian. I do it every year for my husbands family, and 'this year I just ran out of steam.

You do not work more than 100 hours a week, so stop. And yes, you DO have "my time." You have 365 days, to be exact, from one Christmas to the next. Working with your husband, who obviously should be involved, as this is family, you have more than enough time to buy and wrap some gifts, especially in the age where you can order something and a freaking drone can drop it off on your doorstep in 12 to 24 hours. Stop. [/quote]

And quite frankly, your comments annoy me because they seem to think that all this shopping for other people should be my priority, it's obviously not. I would so much prefer to go down and not have a gift exchange and not make Christmas about gifts. People like you who make all these gifts such a priority really ruin it for the rest of us.

Then why did you even post? If you think Christmas is a waste of time, and you don't value spending time with your ILs, whom you clearly dislike and look down upon, then just do your thing! But no one is going to give you a free pass on "not having time" to buy and wrap some gifts because you DO. You have 365 days to do so from one year to the next. You do have the time; you choose to spend it on other things. That's fine! But stop with your lame excuses.

Own your choices.[/quote]
