<human>: Every year, mainly from my sister, I hear complaining after Christmas about the gifts I get them. It really ruins my holidays especially when Christmas to me is not about spending money, but time with family and friends not about silly fucking money spent on gifts and my family seems to have the opposite views on that, they are very materialist.

I have a 5 year old daughter I put my focus on for Christmas spending, and a wife. Everyone else after my daughter comes last, so usually I limit my spending to $30 a person with thoughtful gifts. As well I'm self employed and moneys been tighter this year..

This year I bought my sister a pair of massaging warm, soft, slippers to use while she study's at university because she complains it's cold there all the time, I thought it was thoughtful, I also assembled a 20 photo picture frame of all the family's old pictures from years ago, good memories for her to hang in her university dorm, took me a long time to dig out these old photos and frame them too :/

I bought my parents pretty thoughtful gifts too that was tuned towards their likings.

After we opened the gifts today, again this year, they acted ungrateful and my sister didn't seem to appreciate her gifts pretty much because she spent more on me than I did on her... It's infuriating that my family views Christmas as money not as thought and spending time.

I'm soon ready to say fuck it all and be a hermit the next few years for Christmas and see no family!

How do I deal with this?? What's the best way?

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: family don't appricate the gifts I give them because it's not "expensive" things. Happens every year, fed up with it and want to know how to handle it!
