It's awesome that they can get gifts for each other, but they should have been there early or later after "your" part of the family arrived/left.<br /><br />I travel for Christmas, so my son has Santa visit him at my mom's.

We went to my husbands aunts house and she gave out all of her grandkids, kids and brothers/sisters, her kids gave to their nieces/nephews, etc and we got a few things from a few people but my SiL didn't go because her kids always feel jilted because they just get a few things while the grandkids get tons. I think if we did the grab bag they would see that everyone got one gift same as them on not feel bad about it.Babes Mamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358199545037517298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876226336155302681.post-75779195722801477092010-12-27T12:04:23.479-05:002010-12-27T12:04:23.479-05:00my whole family is weird. i just go with the flow....my whole family is weird. i just go with the flow. My husband's sister didn't get ANYTHING for our child. Her only nephew and he's 2. I don't he doesn't know or care - it was just really really weird.Brandy@YDKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362084419708971995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876226336155302681.post-39671104889102088112010-12-27T10:14:30.223-05:002010-12-27T10:14:30.223-05:00I'd feel icky about it, too.

Now, they have been a part of my life for almost 20 years now, so it's not like we hardly know each other. We went to a grab bag after a while...but yet, my stepsister and her family(who are "real" relatives instead of steps like me and my brothers) would still get from everyone while we wouldn't. It just seemed hurtful. Do that in private then, you know?Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876226336155302681.post-23344630843399040282010-12-27T08:42:44.925-05:002010-12-27T08:42:44.925-05:00change is hard for anyone but if they exchanged gi...change is hard for anyone but if they exchanged gifs without u & ur mom I wouuld feel a lil left out too!BNMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865816022677082186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876226336155302681.post-14021001675820267572010-12-27T08:35:33.984-05:002010-12-27T08:35:33.984-05:00I think change can but a damper anyones mood if th...I think change can but a damper anyones mood if they didn't encourage and whole heartedy welcome the change.Okahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963135885811964745noreply@blogger.com
