[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Here's an excerpt from MIL's e-mail (names are fake):

"I am still upset that all of you are not coming to Fred and Ginger's wedding. This is an important and joyous occasion that will happen once in a lifetime. Can't you find a way to save the money? It's over 6 months away. [b]We don't need Christmas presents this year[/b]."

I did not respond and forwarded to DH. Sigh.[/quote][/quote]

"That's sweet of you to offer Mama but we really hadn't budgeted $6,000 for Christmas gifts for you anyway"  ;)

Sometimes I think folks honestly don't realize how much money it costs.  Spell it out for her.  "We truly would love to come so maybe we could do the opposite and make this our Christmas gifts from everyone else.  Bill and I will contribute the $2,000 we had budgeted for our family vacation.  If you and Daddy and Fred and ginger can gift the rest to us it would absolutely make it possible!  You are so right about it being joyous and I'm glad we have a plan to make it happen.  Now I'm getting excited for the trip!"

hehehe  ;)[/quote]
