If this will make you feel any better, I'll share a story about my ex MIL. I asked her if I could hide my kid's Christmas presents at her house so they wouldn't find them. We had dinner at her house on Christmas Eve and when she gave my children her presents...yep, she gave them the presents I had asked her to hide for me! That left me in the position of having nothing to give them from Santa. Today, I can laugh about it but it sure wasn't funny then.
