[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My stepmom did this exact same thing to me this year -- sent an email with a list of gift demands and then asked me to respond within a week with my own Christmas list.  DH and I are also expecting our first and money is also tight for us, but at least they asked for gift cards so we can spend as much as we can afford.

Nevertheless, it's incredibly rude for grown adults to send a list of gift requests without being ASKED to first provide that list.[/quote]

Wait, I'm sorry. Did you say that your family is requesting gift cards for Christmas from you?

We do Christmas morning with my parents, brother, sister, BIL, and sis' and our kids, but last year my sister/BIL and I/DH didn't exchange gifts. My parents gave us some money, so that meant the four of us only had one gift each to open on Christmas morning, from my brother. So we reinstituted gifts, but little ones, and you GET TO PICK WHAT YOU GIVE OTHER PEOPLE and you pick your own budget.

Demanding gift cards (i.e. money) is tacky as shit.

Giving gifts at Christmas is supposed to be FUN, not a chore or something that bankrupts you. Jeez.  [/quote]
