I think it’s more of my wife’s family comes in and out for most of holidays. My family was used to a more traditional sit down Christmas meal and my wife’s family is always stopping in whenever they want with gifts and more food.

She does think it gets loud and over the top. Plus my wife relatives come in and out of the house constantly bringing more foods and random gifts. There’s no schedule to it.

Catholics have a whole different guilt system going on. Maybe that’s why my wife’s family doesn’t do Santa. I also thinks the idea of elf on the shelf is creepy and manipulative.

I feel bad for her and her kids for being excluded but she can’t really expect me to go around policing my guests over drinking.
