it is not wrong not to buy any one gift during Christmas. the true essence of Christmas is that all of us are here together celebrating, the gifts doesn't matter as long as all of you are together. maybe about the family's kids just give them next time and when you said it you must not broke it in order for them to trust you. because sometimes, during Christmas, my uncles or aunties said that they'll just give gifts to me next time and it doesn't matter to me. I understand them. let's just remember that we should rather give a "gift" to Jesus Christ since it is His birthday not our birthday.

The financial pressures of commercialized Christmas gifting makes this a stressful season for many.
I too, am not buying gifts this year because of my financial condition. I'm not feeling bad about it. My adult sons and I decided this together because of their lack of finances so I'm planning a lovely day just to spend together.
I'll make all their favorite foods and get a neat board game, or maybe learn some new card games, that we can play while laughing and visiting.
I believe we'll all enjoy the true spirit of Christmas more if we are relaxed instead of stressed about money.
Perhaps you can can up with an activity to do to spend quality time with the kids instead of buying gifts. By taking all the children for a day, you'll also be giving their parents a gift, too.

No that's not egocentric to not procuring presents for nieces and nephews. you have 9 so as which may be somewhat some funds. My questioning is you're able to a minimum of purchase a card for his or her birthday, and perhaps a card for the kinfolk at christmas. My aunty has the main appropriate thought, she gets a card and then places a pair of $a million prompt scratch enjoying cards in it. You get the excitement of scratching the enjoying cards then in case you win something that's very much with. you're able to locate some form of stability because of the fact it variety of appears like that's frightening you, you're able to desire to constantly merely discreetly call your brothers/sisters talk with them approximately it.

No, it isn't wrong at all. Don't ruin yourself financially just to appease others. If your family has a problem with it, that's too bad. Don't let them tell you who you should and should not spend money on. Christmas gifts should NEVER be mandatory. They're supposed to be from the heart.

i am sure that if you explain that to your parents, they would rather you pay bills instead of spending money on them. You can always tell them that you will make it up to them later.
