Oh boy here we go again at this time of the year and to be truthful I hate the holidays and always have..I had very bad holiday sense I was a kid and was always treated like the outcast of the family and it still is no different..now that I married and not into money like the rest if my family I'm treated like crap..well sorry I married for love and not money..I'm just glad that we have a couple months to go and it will over.

I'm with you, It really is a what did you get me, money thing anymore. I could do without it. Just stress is what it is. We brought up to all the kids on doing homemade things and only a few were happy with that one. I guess it is what it is but I'm personally not into it.

@hillhjill Exactly, we exchange names because there is so many of us, then it became a fight on the amount to be spent.

Yes it does and my mom always wants us to go to her sisters house for the holidays like we always have but I'm tired of being treated the way I am when I'm there.

Sorry to hear this. My family is similar where in our cirle no one really has any money. But I do find it fun to play White Elephant with dollar store gifts. Hope the season goes quick for you.

I do not like the holidays for my own reasons.

I would choose love over money any day. As long as you are happy that is all that matters.

Christmas is cool but I prefer the summer season. Hope this year will be better for you.

Love is more important than money. It's good to know that you married for love.

Thank you and yes it is..but the rest of my family married into money and I don't think they would know what to do if they lost it.

I also feel like I am the outcast in my family too. A few of my friends treats me better than most of my family does.
