I don't do it for anyone except my wife, and she only does it for her mom and indirectly her dad, who is made to suffer if mom is unhappy. I honestly don't care about the extended family being happy....I just care about my kids and wife having a good Christmas.

But what do I know? I don't have to deal with my disfunctional family at Christmas, and I consider myself fortunate for that.
