[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I’m not poking my nose, DH wants to do this for his family, it’s our choice as a family. Not mine. [b]It’s also the most cost effective choice for us. [/b][twitter]

This is what we have chosen to do, my initial question was “it doesn’t seem like they are totally into it, so should I offer an out?”

I didn’t ask if you felt the gift was appropriate. We believe as a family experiences are more important than someone sending a list of gifts and we just buy stuff off that. We will have the memories, if they don’t want that, that’s ok. I’m okay. I’m not forcing anyone to come.

We can all be adults and decline or better yet, you have a real issue with me or DH, you reach out.

I really am amazing by DCUM and can’t even begin to imagine what kind of friendships/relationships you lunatics have. I’m sad for you. [/quote]

Are you doing this because you want to spend time with them, or to save money? Don’t be on a high horse if it is the latter.

We have family over and go to our family member’s homes over the holidays. We do not consider it a gift. We are also not into gift giving so we buy ~$20-50 gifts for the kids and call it a day.

Also with little kids, a home invite where the kids can get their older cousins uninterrupted attention is the most fun. At a venue event everyone is often paying attention to the event rather than each other.[/quote]
