I don't care for gift exchanges and don't care much more for the "Chinese gift exchange" (please excuse me if the term is not politically correct!) I give a gift because I want to and also because it is somethingI want to give NOT because it is what they expect from me. As a member of a blended family, it irks me that DH's children and grandchildren have Amazon (etc) wish lists that we are required to select from AND never have time to spend with their father which breaks my heart. On the other hand, my DD says..."time with you is more important than gifts." Makes it a bit harder to find a material item but wouldn't trade the time together for anything. I am truly blessed and constantly pray that his family will see the light before he is gone.
