[quote=Anonymous]I understand, OP except it was my parents. We argued every year that they showed up weighed down with gifts. After a few years DH and I started to take deep breaths and that's all I can recommend. I also started to point out, as gently as I could, that they were getting random stuff just to have volume and our kids didn't enjoy what they got because they refused to take suggestions from us. In our case, and this doesn't help you, but Covid really dialed it back since we didn't get together for two Christmases in a row and they had to ship gifts. Similar to PP, mine only believe in stuff not gift cards or experience gifts or 529 contributions. They want the excitement of a massive pile of presents. It has also gotten better now that we're out of the toy phase. Buying a big stack of hoodies isn't nearly as satisfying to them. [/quote]
