I probably have between 150-200 family members still alive, including 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins. You want me to buy sh*t for every one of them?


Yeah now that is ridiculous. I don't buy gifts for extended. I'll buy something for my aunt that lives out here in AZ mainly cause she is estranged from her son and grandkids(long story...he is holding a long standing stupid grudge and he refuses to have any contact with her and won't let her see or talk to her grandkids) so I feel bad for her during the holidays. Growing up my mom's side was large and the adults didn't give each other gifts usually except gifts to my grandparents. There were 15 of us cousins so we all drew names at Thanksgiving for a gift ($25 limit usually).

If I bought just for my kids, their SO's, my parents, brothers, sisters, and their children (nieces and nephews), I'd have to take out a loan and start shopping in October.
