Quick reminder as we hit the final shopping shipping deadlines: You do not have to go into debt to prove you love your family.
Financial stress is one of the leading causes of divorce and anxiety. Do not let the pressure of the "Them" (expectations of others) destroy the peace of the "Us" (your immediate family).
Your kids will remember your presence more than the pile of plastic. Your friends will appreciate a coffee date more than a generic gift set.
Boundary: Set a number. Stick to it. Your January self will thank you.
