Wow - everyone paren'ts have been so generous!

My parents have been generous as well - they gave us money and a bottle of wine - but i can't get over that everyone got multiple gifts like gift cards, money, clothes, etc. - amazing.

My in-laws don't celebrate Christmas - but they always give us gifts on the side - just not the actual day of Christmas.

DH - got a leather jacket
I got a cashmere scarf from them.
