Just remember, it's Buy Nothing day today.

Don't give in to the hype! I can guarantee you, your family does NOT need the most expensive presents.

See? BND.

Okay. I've been psuedo-political today. Met my quota and all. I guess I can go out and buy that toilet paper now. I mean, I'd like not to, but this is kinda... different.

she still buys presents, and then I have to ...

No you don't. Give her something you didn't buy (like time together or whatnot) and tell her that's all you're getting, that you're philosophically opposed to buying stuff for Christmas.

I will give it a shot! :) I'd prefer a dinner together or time spent hanging out to presents, I'll see if it works.

Just give *something*, but it doesn't even have to be tangible. Tell her that you want to go to a museum together, or will clean her house for a month, or... oh, I don't know, donated all your money to charity in her name. Whatever.
