Is it wrong for me to do this?
Well since it is Christmas , my family does a secret santa drawing every year.. this year I was lucky enough to get my mom ... so I bought her a present and I also bought my godson a present. BUT here's my problem... I felt bad for not getting my lil cousins a present ( Samantha Age 3 and Belinda age 7) so I bought them a lil small gift just for them to open. Anyhow my dilema is do I buy my 2 sisters Ages 39 and 15 a present now since I bought my lil cousins one and not them is it bad? Am I being a bad sister? Hubby thinks it's not bad that I bought them a present he says that they are lil kids(my cousins) and that my sisters are older and shouldnt expect a present? Last year I bought them a present and I didnt get one from them ...so what should I do?
FYI the whole point of the secret santa was to limit our spending..but I feel sorta bad for not getting them anything... should I get them something or just return my lil cousins presents?

I personally believe Christmas is more for the children than the adults. Give the little ones their gifts. If your sisters have issue with it, so be it. They can get over it themselves.

Aww no... you did not go wrong there, the adults surely will understand, and most probably will appreciate the fact that you remembered the little ones.

Don't return their gifts. The little ones have so much anticipation this time of year and it's so fun to watch them open them. If any of the adults get upset...well then they still have some growing up to do.

Oh heavens no. Your sisters are older. Janet is right.. Christmas is mainly for the little ones. If you feel bad maybe you could wait till they get ready to go home and slip them an "extra"present. lol
