[quote=Anonymous]Christmas is out of control. Due to travel time/young kids, we stopped going to ILs on Christmas Day. This got us out of much of the sibling/aunt/uncle/cousin/etc. gift-giving/receiving by default. We give ILs each a gift during Christmas week (like a gift card for each IL to stores they frequent). They spend $30 per-person (to the penny) & fill stockings with junk from Walmart that we either donate or toss. There are 6 of us, so it would be very helpful to have that $180 to use for anything we might enjoy as a family, but it's no use. Or even a donation to charity in our name would be better than random Walmart cr@p. So wasteful, and it would be wonderful if we could just skip the entire ordeal. [/quote]
