whats your worst Christmas gift ever?

Now I know that Christmas is not about what you get but more about being appreciative and thankful, but this year I have really had it with the most awful gift giving to me. I received the most thoughtless and crappiest gifts ever. My husband put no effort into my gift after I bought him so many gifts he really wanted. The rest of my family bought me kitchen stuff " thanks I cook for 7 people everyday no need to make me feel special, yet remind me all I do is cook" and Final one came from my mother in law. After she went out of her way to ask all the kids including my husband what they wanted she bought it all for them also adding in special gifts. She never asked what I wanted she just wrapped up those items that kind of just come as a free gift after you purchase something else. I feel totally hurt after putting so much thought into my mother and father in law's gifts and I was just of no importance. I now have come to hate something that is supposed to be special.
Those type people aren't worth one tear. Don't dare let them know you're hurt. In fact, I'd send them a little thank you card. That would rain on their parade. Make it fun, darling.
Aww thank you for helping me smile
@DidIHurtYourFeelings: Just treasure your real friends who make you happy. Someone as sweet and thoughtful as you must have plenty. ❤ Today is a new day and a fresh start. Plan something fun. 🤗
Yes. Time to start putting yourself first for once. I'm so sorry for your pain. That was terrible of them.
@DidIHurtYourFeelings: I quite understand. I've been through exactly that. You're right. It's not about the presents at all. It was the lack of thought behind them, yet actions speak louder than words. [i]Through[/i] those gifts, or lack thereof, however, they let you know [i]exactly[/i] what they thought of you. What small minded people. They don't even deserve a second thought, yet it does hurt. Next time you know where to get their gifts. At the Dollar Store, and I'm not kidding. You don't reward bad behavior.
@GraceFromEP: I don't think I will be buying them anything at all. I just don't understand why this is hurting my feelings so much
@DidIHurtYourFeelings: Simply because you're human with feelings, it is naturally hurtful, being overlooked or not included. Not buying them anything would be ideal!

Yep Grace is right ..time to stand up and be seen ! If you let it slide you will only confirm there treatment of you .
After all ...you are as valuable as any of them right !!?
Very true. Next year I won't be doing Christmas. Every year I cook for all of my husband's family and my own. We are a large family and I never ask for anything. I'm ready to stop being so giving and loving

Yep you need to take care of yourself too.
Screw 'em buy yourself a big gift and tell them " huh ....sorry I spent the money on me . I didn't think anyone would miss my contributions so.."

So ..what does your husband say ?

Don't worry, I had the same thing happened to me too. In fact, my mom even forgot to give me a present. On Xmas Eve I overhead my parents talking and my dad asked whether she got a present for me. She said nope and if worse came to worse, she would just buy something the next day.

At the end I didn't get a present from her or my dad either.
Awww I'm sorry that is not okay especially from your parents

Aw how rotten for you. My worst gift was the same. Some tiny free makeup samples you get when you buy two products. She even recycled the gift bag I'd given her for her birthday.

@DidIHurtYourFeelings: I would of binned it in front of her. Or better still use it and fill the bottle with cheap crap and give it to her for her birthday
@Moonshine: that's so evil

I am so sorry for you! And I can understand you so well because my situation is so similar to yours. Either I get/got "gifts" which are really hurting me or most of time I don't get nothing at all although I also put so much thoughts on other peoples gift. 😢
Yeah it's definitely the worst feeling ever
