My husband and I both have large families. We have a total of 36 family members (not including each other or our daughter) to buy gifts for. This is parents, grandparents, siblings, and childrens gifts. Even if I only spend $20 per person, that adds up to $720 and I would like to spend a little more on my parents. How can I decrease the spending without seeming cheap or like I don't care. I just don't think Christmas should cost so much. No one else seems interested in changing things other than a few family members who are struggling just to have food and a home (they have already said they aren't buying gifts at all). I did consider giving a very nice Christmas gift to the least fortunate ones in the family and giving everyone else a card stating I had made a donation to charity for them. Any other suggestions?
