Stop asking me about Christmas presents!!!

Our extended family is going crazy with wanting Christmas gift ideas, calling me and telling me what they got so someone else won't get it, etc. etc. I don't mind a few inquiries about what someone might like, but after that, just GO with it and stop hassling me! Seriously, all the "tell SIL that I bought your DH this so she doesn't get it" is driving me insane. I don't want to be your Santa Claus middleman!?

?Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of the family wanting to buy gifts for us, but I'm ready to declare a gift-less holiday so we can focus on family and spending time together and not who's getting whom what for Christmas!

?Ahhhh.... that felt good to get out.??

And with that, I am officially declining to answer any more Christmas gift questions from extended family. Thank you and Merry Christmas!?

    You know what I hate most about that?  I love to see what everyone is opening...I don't need to know every gift ahead of time. It ruins it for me.

    Exactly, mlm. That's another thing that bugs me about it. I like surprises too. Oh well, if this is the worst of my problems, then I've got it pretty good, I know.?
