LIGHTHEARTED
I am one of 7 siblings and the easiest going of the bunch. I am the only girl and really don't care what any of them or I do ever, let alone at Xmas.
I had kids first. First Xmas most sibs either just bought the baby a gift or bought us gifts too and we just kind of went along with it all in this spirit as they had kids. So I buy presents for 3 sibs/partners and all nieces and nephews. One of my SIL is very annoying though and I always seem to be positioned to fuck up and be mocked.
So after 10 years of kids only presents I was given a gift in 2020 year, and so was DH. I said "Oh I didn't know we were doing presents" and she scoffed "Really? Why wouldn't we?"
Then last year I got her a gift and she opened it and literally shouted "you've gone mad, mad! we don't do gifts! hahhahahahahha" then "hold on!" and made a big show of disappearing and coming back with an emergency gift type thing - a candle which I thanked her for.
When I expressed confusion to DC and other sibs they all said that DB is a member of an scheme where he is given a lot of freebies by Amazon for reviews, and this is where gifts are sourced from.
She is a PITA at the best of times but means no harm. What do I do this year?
Prize for the funniest gift suggestion 😂
