It's sad to see so many people saying to you "Don't give them anything". Sure, you can be vindictive and petty, simply because they might be selfish. But think about that- is that really who you are? Christmas IS about giving, not to mention peace on earth and good will toward your fellow man. If you don't want to give them anything, don't. If you do, do. It doesn't have to be expensive- heck, some of the best gifts I ever got were under 10 bucks (Even some things came from the dollar store!) Hope this helpds in your decision.

Don't give them nothin'. And tell them that you didn't get them anything also. Tell them that you got everyone else a present, but them. Tell them you even got your pet hampster a new wheel. And your hampster loves to run in the wheel unceasingly. Yes, this sounds like a great idea. Or, you could get them a wrapped gift box, and tell them to open it when they get home. And when they open it and see that there is nothing in it, they will call you. Oh yes, they will call. And when they do, they will say, "Something must have happened because there is no present in my present." And you will say, "that is correct, there is no present in your present, Good Day." And they will try to rebutt, but you just tell them "I said Good Day" and go about your business. That's right you'll show them. And then everyone will know that they must get you a present, or else they will suffer the same indignity.

Its possible that the person did not have enough resources to give to everyone, so they didnt want to pick favorites and ended up not giving to anyone. If you fell love towards a person, one way to show it is to give a gift. ANother way to show it is to share family times with them.
Do not be stingy. If you give to one, give to all. If they were just being mean, then you will be killing them with kindness.

Not bad, because gifts should be from the heart, and if you feel resentful about getting these relatives something, I wouldn't. And even if they expect something, if you have nothing this year- who would they complain too? They may be suprised, but I wouldn't worry about that, or even hurt feelings at this point. They are adults, not children.

company should be the greatest gift for the holidays but you can offer a cake or pie for everyone to share...Maybe bake some cookies and give them to your family in a cute plastic wrap with ribbons...People these days can't afford buying gifts for everybody because families grow...

Well, if you take gifts for the rest of the family but don't give them any, that would be kinda tacky! Just don't bring any and hand them out later.

i think that decision is completely and totally up to you...you lived the life so you know the people your referring to if they ever gave you one then yes give them one or get them something small i mean a thingh of those nicely decorated summer sausage baskets and stuff like that but if they have NEVER given you anything then dont get them anything but a christmas card

I wouldn't give them a thing. If they were too good to give you something, but they were well off, then I wouldn't give them as much as a card. Turnabout is fair play.

It depends, do you WANT to give them a gift? You don't have to if you don't wanna. I mean it's entirely your decision. You're not being a bad person.
Does this help?
