Explain that you're overwhelmed right now. Trust me, it'll be freeing for you!
I pray things will get better for you!!!! That's a lot to try to handle right now!

This year is also a bad one for me; the dog had ACL surgery and has to be kept away from stairs etc. My pocketbook took a big hit with that one. I have 6 grands, 3 of each. The boys are 19, 16, and 15 so they are getting $50 bills. Boys love cash. The girls are 6, 9, &12 and I had already finished the quilt for the middle one and started on the 12 year olds. So for the little one I just got some polar fleece in her favorite color (red) and used up some charms from a summer project for her and made a cute small blanket. The adults each got a Christmas table runner at Thanksgiving. Not too much else going on in the gift line before Christmas. I'll be lucky to get the decorations out.
