Mine is.

Elderly Parents.
Young Nieces / Nephews / elderly relatives .
Adult Brothers Sisters / in laws ... esp the ones with children you are buying for.
Each other.,
Really unsure about this.
I have two children , 16 and 13.
DH has 2 young grandchildren and 4 adult children.
On his side we have brothers / sisters/ nieces / parents.
On my side. No one other than my 2 children and an elderly aunt so long as the budget reached that far.
We share all finances. Joint account and both salaries go in. I earn almost twice as much but I know if it was the other way around it would be exactly the same. Plus My DH works hard but just isn’t paid as much.
However, he does choose not to do over time even when offered.
This year we have less money to spend on Christmas. We are not broke but equally we have had an expensive year primarily due to DHs and my DD mile stone birthdays.
We do need to prioritise the present buying this year. Actually, we would have been in the same situation last year but I was fortunate to receive a PPI payment in respect of a bank account I had a decade ago before I knew DH. This money was shared out between my children , DH’s children and his grandchildren plus all the other gifts. I didn’t mind. I’m not a grinch.
So , is my list fair? My children are having their formative Christmases . So are DHs grandchildren. If there is anything left then I’m happy to work down the list.
AIBU to say I don’t really care if no else gets a gift beyond my children and his grandchildren.
I also host quite a bit over the festivities. But not his adult children as they live to far away.?
