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.

Yes. Time to start putting yourself first for once. I'm so sorry for your pain. That was terrible of them.
Yes it was extremely hurtful. I know it's not about presents but it's hard to sit around and watch everyone get wonderful gifts they wanted but you were nothing :( now I especially know how my mother in law feels about me
@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!
