I just wrote that same sentiment to my in-laws. Christmas isn't about presents to me, and it isn't what I want my children to value. But even if we don't spend Christmas with my in-laws they want to get together latter for "something casual" to open presents. No church, no yummy meal (my MIL hates to cook and will make instant potatoes on Thanksgiving). Just presents. There are six presents for me under the tree from my sister in law alone, and she never asked me what I wanted. It's all just "stuff". I love the "no rain, no rainbows"...a more succinct version of my favorite quote, "for how myght sweetness ever haf be known to hym who never tastyd bitterness" (Chaucer).
