[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP: My problem is that no one discusses gift giving and then shows up with gifts. My sil has brought small gifts to Xmas Eve but if we don't discuss before I don't bring anything, so there I was with nothing last night while she and mil lined the living room with little bags. I don't appreciate the "assumption" that gifts will be given.[/quote] Respectfully, as a fellow Catholic, the fact that gifts are not discussed and then everyone brings gifts, means that the default and expected standard in your family is to give gifts, even without discussion Yes, the work gifts were a surprise, that’s fair, but family gifts are expected of everyone in your family. There are plenty of gifts that fall within Laudato Si, you have to make an effort to get them [/quote]
