[quote=Anonymous]I would make these boundaries in early Fall. Some people are done shopping be December. We actually started "no gifts" years ago and there was so much push-back and protest, but once everyone adjusted it has been MUCH better. It also shows out kids what holidays are about-experiences, positive memories, the family you enjoy, good food, giving back and relaxation. We have one relative who ignores it, but she is a boundary stomper in general who tries to buy love while treating people like trash. The kids see right through it. Treating people with kindness is a gift-we don't need stuff and stress.[/quote]
