This is why many company Secret Santa events have strict rules about the price of a gift.
Perhaps a distant relative, a coworker, or the new partner of a friend.
This is perhaps why, as one gains wisdom with age, the wishlist seemsso much more appealing.
This way, you still dont know exactly what you are opening on Christmas day.
But, it is not correct etiquette to issue your list unless asked.
Bit by bit, the value of the requested items grows and people dont really notice.
After all, with inflation and many different Christmas expenses coming up, its easy to lose track.
The real issue here, however, isnt the cost of the gifts.
If no one could afford them, no one would buy them.
Instead, they are using their kid to get things for themselves.
At the cost of their relatives resources and their childs actual Christmas gifts.
If the rest of the relatives follow suit, they might hopefully amend this habit.
People were shocked at the list and applauded OPs stance
Thanks!
