Is there one person you are purposely leaving off your Christmas gift list?

There is one person I buy a Christmas gift for every year but don't have it in me this year to do it because of the way she has treated my mother. I'm the type of person who doesn't like to give just for the sake of giving but because I really want to if you know what I mean?
Is there anyone you feel this way about? Will you give them a gift just for the sake of giving or just give them a card this year?

I can't blame you, it's the thought that counts. So if you really don't care to give someone a gift why should you have to? I have someone on my list I am contemplating this year, only because in the past I have had them point out mistakes in my gift giving. I really care for this person but it seems I have been dropped out of their life except when they need something.

People like that would definately be off my list this year. Pointing out mistakes in gift giving? How rude!

Yeah, I have one person that I have been thinking about whether to get them something or not. I might just buy for her daughters instead of buying for her and her fiance.

I know what you mean. I have someone this year that will not be getting anything from me, not even a card. This person did something really bad towards my dad and that's something that won't be ignored. I do hope she shows up at my parents home for Christmas just so she can see that she's nor longer welcomed there. I did however get her daughter something. I was showed that no matter what she did, her child shouldn't be punished for it as well. Before she is forgiven, she has to repay my dad and ask everyone's forgiveness for what she did.

No i have not purposely left anyone off my list.I start with my children and their children and go down the list, if i had to leave someone out it would be someone i am not real close to and i ran out of money before buying for them.If someone had been really mean to my mother i probably would not buy for them either.

My brother and his wife.
I've wanted to leave his wife off since I've known her but I couldn't get my brother something and not her. So I tried to get them a "joint" gift but she inevitably ruined that. She ruins all of my gift ideas actually.
Anyway, so this year I don't have a lot of money anyway so I said I wanted to get my nephews stuff and not them. I told them not to give me anything either. So I hope they don't.
