Frugal Single Mother Refuses to Buy Christmas Gifts for 40 Family Members, Focusing on Saving Money for Her 4-Year-Old Son's Future Instead

Christmas can get expensive–and if you're a large family survivor with 25 cousins, 10 aunts n' uncles, and at least 15 in-laws that you keep getting mixed up, the holidays can take a huge chunk out of your bank account. But oftentimes, amid a mondo Christmas gift pile, common decency gets lost in the mixup. 

The holiday season can make even the most level-headed family members lose their moral compass, which is why it came as no surprise to the single mom in this next story when she got guilt-tripped into participating in the annual family Christmas party–an event that required a gift for each random cousin, half-sibling, and flamboyant uncle So when this single mother was looped into a group chat with 40 of her closest family members (and their respective Christmas lists), she decided to take a stand against the gift giving this year, focusing instead on securing a financial future for her 4-year-old son.
