I totally agree with this idea. Your hard work will truly be appreciated. If not, then you know what you won't be doing next year this time. Maybe the family members just don't know how to tell you they may not be able to do as much this year. I have heard numerous people talking about having to slim the lists. Sure have at my house!
Give your gifts and find the white elephant and join in the fun.
You made the gifts in love, give them in love and be proud of all your hard work.
