[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will be the third year that my family will not exchange gifts. We are all in our 50's with older kids. We are lucky that we do not need anything. We do get together but we forcus on the meal and just having fun. It is such a relief. How do I convince my husbands family this is the new deal? We do not get together and just exchange gift cards. It is lame. [/quote] My mom's extended family did this for years, and it was awesome. First, we did an exchange where you drew a name out of a hat, so each person only bought for one other person. It was fun, because you didn't know who your Secret Santa was! Then, we started doing a White Elephant-type exchange, which was really fun and brought out all the goofy competitiveness as people jockeyed for the "best" gifts. Lots of fun, much less expensive.
