So around mid-october SIL emailed extended family (who's christmas is this Saturday 12/19) asking what extended family's children wanted for christmas. She included the other girls and I in on it, just to make sure we got the kids' lists and such. Fast forward to this last weekend.
Same SIL is not sure she will attend christmas and may not even bring gifts if she does attend. Now, I understand people are in a tight spot this year, but I also know that SIL/BIL make lots of money. Also, SHE started the whole conversation about the gifts and there's the point that her child will come away with gifts from all the adults there as well.
I just think that if she skips it should be for a better reason than, "i'm getting my hair done" and if she doesn't bring gifts it shouldn't be because "i'm too busy these last few weeks.". Yeahhhh...I know you're not THAT busy.

Klassy.
You should plan a dinner party in someone's honor then tell her she's to bring the main course, all the sides, dessert, and a few cases of beer. Tell her 2 days before the event. Then call her 1 hour before and cancel your attendance and let her know she'll need to host at her house.
