We are hosting Xmas for 15 people - mix of mine & husband's family. The only children are ours who are early teens. Every year we all buy each other stuff for the sake of it but this year, like most, money is tighter. I've said we would prefer to not buy gifts for everyone this year but will be gifting our parents a little something as we see them regularly & they do a lot for us. Stressed we really don't want any gifts ourselves either, but if they want to gift the teens then that's fine as they're still 'young' but no expectation. Is this unreasonable? We get the feeling from the response we're being grinches! And how do we handle those who still insist on buying us gifts, which will leave us feeling v guilty on the day, especially as some will receive gifts from us (parents) & some won't. Should we just buy everyone a box of chocs for the sake of it?!
