Hi I no it's early but last Christmas my parents, son,husband and I have decided to spend this Christmas in the heat and go to Spain and rent a villa for a couple of weeks . This didn't fair well with the in laws ( what ever does ) they started saying things like what about santa clause. Firstly my four year old doesnt give a stuff about santa or Christmas, he has never wanted or physically opened a present , and anyway gets a present or treats every 2 weeks from me and my husband. aibu to think fuck it santa won't come this year.I'm often referred to the Christmas grinch and don't put up a single decoration it's not like he doesn't get presents and I don't even think he'd notice /care if santa didn't come

Yeah, the getting of presents every two weeks would be a bit of a thing for me personally - I know you don't celebrate Christmas, but what about birthdays?
It'd make receiving presents an every day normal thing and not a treat, celebration thing.

UncleJamie, nonetheless her husband has, along with her, decided to spend this Christmas away. I hardly think he's being railroaded.
