[QUOTE="klmno, post: 397187, member: 3699"] I agree with BW but I can understand why you feel that way. I used to feel that way after shopping for my son and taking him out to buy gifts from him and myself to my family members only to find that I'd be lucky if I received a single thing- what got to me the most was that they never took him out or "helped" him get a gift for me when he was young. It wasn't the gift itself that was important to me- it was him learning to think of getting a gift for others instead of just receiving and then if he did think of it, he had no one to help him do it until he was old enough that I could sit out front of the store and send him him with a little cash on him to buy something by himself. I wonder- did any of your family members help your kids get you a gift when they were very young? Either way, they are certainly old enough now to also understand that Christmas isn't just about receiving a gift or coming to your house to get a good meal and spending traditional family time.
