[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Give it to him a prior unwrapped.  Happy Wednesday! [/quote]

❤️ If we did that and they left angrily, would we be bad people?[/quote]

Yes. Why would you choose to alienate your sisters family and make her life more difficult. [/quote]
You asked your sister a question (can we give Larlo a gift?), she gave you an answer (no thank you). You're taking her answer as a personal rejection and that's what's making this difficult.[/quote]

No, that’s not true. My sister fully participated in Christmas until she got married. She had Christmas gifts galore as a child. Her grandmother gave her Christmas gifts. She ate candy and cookies at Christmas. She sat on Santa’s lap and had her picture taken, and watched Rudolph and Elf and all Christmas movies.

Now, after participating in Christmas and getting gifts and Christmas fun her whole life, we are supposed to change everything for her husband? [/quote]
It's not true that you asked her a question? Not true that she answered? Not true that you're taking it personally?
It doesn't sound like she's asking you to "change everything" for her husband. They didn't ask you to stop the gift giving tradition.[/quote]

Many people posting here suggested we not give gifts to accommodate my bil. They tried to make me feel guilty for wanting to maintain our family traditions and enjoy our celebration.

Larlo can’t receive a gift or eat Christmas goodies or watch Christmas movies or make glitter ornaments with his cousins. You tell me what he can do besides walk around and watch others have fun. [/quote]

Your story is a moving target. It started as a single gift. Then sweets. Now glitter ornaments and Christmas movies. [/quote]
Yes, this! OP's introduction to the issue said that the gathering was "a large meal and board games and a walk as the main activities" and that the only thing Larlo would miss was a gift. Now it's an explicitly Christmas-themed gathering with exclusively Christmas activities and BIL won't let his kid do anything? OP, it sounds like you're just trying to get random DCUM strangers to hate your BIL and piling on reasons hoping some will stick.[/quote]
