I don't think we're getting DD anything for Christmas. She's gotten a ton of stuff from grandparents & other relatives, so we're probably going to skip any 'Santa' gifts. Parents of the year!

This year DH and I decided not to send any presents to his brothers, they are the only people out of both of our families a total of 5 siblings and 2 sets of parents) not getting anything from us. The reason is that we have sent them birthday and Christmas presents and cards for years, and they have never once said thank you or even sent a card for a birthday or a holiday. This year they both made no effort to call DH on his birthday either. I could careless about getting a gift from them, but the fact that they don't even say thank you when we send them $50 gift cards for their birthdays or a thoughtful present for Christmas makes me angry.

One of his brothers lives in the same city as his sister, and I am secretly hoping he asks why she and her DH got a present (and a nice one at that) and they got nothing.

In our family the adults always get the younger kids Christmas presents.  DH and I always got out of it because we were the young couple that didn't have any kids and honestly, I don't think anyone expected anything of us.  Well, now that we have a kid, everyone is buying our daughter something which means that we now have to start buying the rest of the kids gifts.  I blame DD for ruining everyone's low expectations of us.

My mom decided to spend her holiday with her other two grandchildren, because they would throw a fit otherwise. I haven't lived within driving distance to my mom for several years until now. She sees her other grandchildren probably 45 times a week. She's only ever met my daughter once, and it was me who flew 3000 miles so she could meet her.
My niece and nephew will be with their fathers for half of the holiday anyhow.
My daughter has literally no family on my husband's side. It would have been nice if she could have been here with us.

Anyhow, there's this lady who is around my Mother's age and has no grandchildren yet. She's been very nice and helpful to us. She's watched our daughter for us a few times and showed me around the city we moved to. We also spent our thanksgiving with her family. I told my mother about how nice this lady has been. She immediately got "sad" because she thinks my daughter will think of her more as grandma, which is crazy for so many reasons. Part of me wanted to tell her "YUP" to be spiteful.

Of course, I say nothing. Ever.

I think the whole commercialism of Santa is so overrated and sad. We are trying to teach my almost 4 year old about strangers, people coming into our house uninvited, etc. How the heck do you explain Santa breaking into your house and giving you kids when you are trying to teach them not to take stuff from strangers. Eh. NO Santa in my house. Or creepy elves that do bad things each night without being disciplined.

I'm sorry Sam. I hope your mom's hurtful behavior doesn't ruin your holiday.

I'm the same way with my mom about not saying what I really feel. Maybe in the new year we should both start!
