Sam444....
Please try not to let those things bother you and just remember it is more blessed to give than to receive. You are a real sweetie and should have more appreciation....but you are the one that is blessed.

Goodness Sam, I think I would not bother to choose presents just give an envelope with a small amount of money inside. Some one always gives me a box of biscuits each year and I really don't like them. I suppose its the thought that counts. You could put that in your envelopes. 🌺🌺

Yes this too shall pass. and you would be crazy to keep giving unwanted expensive gifts with the way they treat you. They make me cross.

Good Evening
Sam444, I can't blame you for the way you feel. It seems to me that your family has not taken your feelings into account, and I think whatever you do is justified. You really can't help the way you feel, and I know your reasons are valid. I really hope you have a fun Christmas surrounded by loving family members. I really get the feeling that your family is dealing with some jealousy directed at you. The dynamics of a family can be challenging on even our best days. I hope you have a good night.
