[quote=Anonymous]OP I'm the first to say that the gift-giving madness has gotten out of hand. It certainly has in my DH's family. But this is your MOM, and it's one pair of freaking boots that might actually come in handy for you, or at least make some resident at the local women's shelter very happy. And your mom got to do what she wanted to do without hurting anyone. (Why do YOU get to dictate that it's a gift free Christmas, anyway?) You really do sound unnecessarily bitter, unless there's more backstory.

For reference, my MIL is nearly broke and she bought me over 10 different gifts, plus a stocking full of stuff, and 80% of it will never get used. I won't even start on the mountain of crap she bought my DS. But she's a grownup, and it's her money, and it makes her happy. We've tried directing her to better gifts or suggesting returns, and it clearly disappoints her, so we all play along and act happy.  It's not that hard.  I keep a few things so I can make sure she sees me using them, and donate or give away the rest. I think she's crazy but it's not my job to ruin her Christmas. Everyone wins. [/quote]
