Not accepting christmas gifts this year
In the spirit of not sounding like a scrooge - My husband and I have decided not to accept Christmas gifts this year. We are going to help out local charities in place of the hustle bustle of getting unwanted and unneeded gifts for many of the people normally on our list.
The problem lies in how do we express this to our family and friends? Do we add a note in our Christmas cards or email them - does it sound like we were expecting a gift? Not sure how to handle this?
Please Help
