Very well-heeled MIL and FIL make it a habit of giving $5.00 Christmas gifts to their great grandkids. Actually, the gift amounts are on a sliding scale depending on how many generations down on the family tree one falls.
Granted, they have a huge family. However, given their modest level of giving, their total expense for their very large family is far less on that of my DD and DM (of modest means) on an average-sized family.
In an effort to aggrandize the gift, it is comprised of five $1.00 "gold" coins (Sacagaweas-the same coin our city transit gives back as change when you buy a train ticket in one of their machines) in a small red bag.
Now a gift is a gift and I don't care if they give anything at all (we find it amusing). And I can understand that for some, giving gifts to a huge TBM family can get expensive. However, money is not an object here and I am curious to know if anyone else has seen this sort of thing among TBMS. Wondering if it's a common practice.
