for this year calendar i took some barely pictures of my nephews in it because i don’t see them often and im the one paying for it, costs like $40 to make big and nice calendar with pictures and collages. I tried my best but lot of the calendar i gifted my parents last year are pictures of my daughter mostly since i like taking nice pictures. And its not often all the kiddos are togheter where i get the chance to take nice Pictures of them togheter. Then for me it feels more natural to make one of my kid when i don’t see my nephews that often and barely have some pictures of them besides some when they where babies. I feel like it may offend my sis if i make one with just my daughter on it for this chritsmas since they be celebrating with us this year. Me and my daughter litteraly live in the underfloor to to parents. Im i being unreasonable?

Why not make a photobook instead of a calendar?

It's fine. My parents have had one from my brother before that was just my niece and nephew and not my DC. It wasn't a present from me so didn't occur to me I was meant to be offended

I make one every year, Christmas presents for DC grandparents. I message my siblings and inlaws for photos they like of my nieces and nephews. New pictures every year. The grandparents love them.

My sister likes to make a calendar of all the grandkids for our parents. She just asks me and my other siblings to send her a couple of photos of our own DC to her some time in October/November so that she can get it in time for Christmas. We try to get one picture of them all together in there somewhere too.
