I know this happens to nearly everyone; I still feel bad...
Last year me, my brother, & 2 cousins all had babies within 4 mths (each 4 wks apart - September, October, November [mine] and December [my brother].)
We exchanged gifts at Christmas b/c we all only see each other twice a year. For my nephew we get both "birthday" & Christmas gifts, but for the cousins we haven't ever exchanged gifts so last year I wrapped gifts in in baby shower paper not Christmas paper & I thought of them as baby gifts not Christmas gifts. (Last year this caught one cousin by surprise as they hadn't bought my daughter a gift...) I thought gifts was a one shot deal...
This year the awkward shoe's on the other foot... they both bought Christmas gifts for my daughter, but I never bought anything for their kids. On top of that 2 sets my of aunts & uncles bought my daughter gifts as well (My parents didn't buy anything for the cousin's kids either.)
Now we feel terrible. Do I fix it (and how?) Thx!
