You did do lots and lots and lots of work on those gifts. Wow - I am awestruck at your productivity. Are the other family members as organized?
Have you vented to your DH yet? What was his response?
The reason for the change may be due to some/one of the other family members finances. My overall feelings about the change would depend on the basic reason for it.
If it has become burdensome for some of the members, this may be the year to change. After the dust settles, you may find this to be a huge relief - if it's agreed to - say at this Christmas gathering - instead of the December preceding the gathering.
Are the gifts suitable to be given at other times of the year? Such as birthdays or valentines day?
There is a huge difference between "a gift" and "an exchange"
I think it would be a joy to just gather at someone's home - potluck for the food - and plan on playing board games, watch videos, sing carols, maybe play outside (we just got about four inches of snow during the night) - and get reacquainted with the cousins and uncles and aunties.
With no presents/gifts involved.
And - radical thought - go to church to celebrate on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.
