Christmas & Gifts
Ok, so this past weekend my MIL asked us what we want for christmas as our first year married. DH says money (which we do need because we want to get a place to own ourselves in March 2007). So about 15 minutes later she asks "What about theater tickets in NYC?". I don't mind that but we do need the cash or at least finish my china (that's what I really really want but DH wants money). I completely understand feeling awkward about giving money. I know my parents will give us a little but also gifts too. Is there another way to suggest money or more things off our bridal registry that we need. I see it, I only have a couple of more years to finish my china pattern. Advice please?

Re: Christmas & Gifts
Since they are asking, I would tell them to surprise you with something from the registry. I couldn't ask anyone for money for christmas.

Re: Christmas & Gifts
no, MIL is great, she always asks what we want for an occassion. I know if I asked for the gravy boat off my registry or place setting I don't think she would be upset.
As for a gift card, my DH is a carpenter and would spend the gift card on stuff for work (which between us gals I think he doesn't use half the crap he buys for work, like his $75 hammer he bought....)
I enjoy buying gifts and receiving gifts too. I think I'll mention the china next time. The thing with Theater tickets is yes we will use them, but then with dinner, etc we end up spending $$$ we don't really have
