Yes, my family. They would never guess how much I actually loathe Christmas. We do baking galore, do the holiday movies and music, parties with friends and participate in a lot of activities. Christmas is magical for my kids. I can't take that away from them. It's not about me.

Ya, you got stuck...but as they age you can certainly tone it down and scale it back...
You can help THEM learn that it doesn't have to be such an orgy of forced celebration. That they don't need eveything.
You can maybe save one of them from continuing something THEY may not like. Have you thought of that? Give them an out! They may thank you(when they get older)
UPDATE: This morning turned out to be great. We spent money we didn't have but I don't care anymore. I will never be out of debt just like this Country. I enjoyed family and friends and I am going to dinner later. I gave some gifts that didn't get any reaction compared to the time and money that went into them but oh well. I gave some that made several people really happy.
Certain moocher family members called about dinner and were asked why didn't you call when it was being planned? We only prepared enough for 22 people. Oh well,I guess no dinner for them
