🎅 The Great Santa Debate: Was Leaving Early Justified? 🤰
It seems our expectant mother found herself in a bit of a Christmas conundrum. 😕 While her family continued their tradition of 'Santa' bringing gifts, she and her husband were left out of the magic. 🎁 To make matters worse, the gifts they did receive were lackluster at best, with minimal consideration for their unborn son. 👶 Meanwhile, her older brother's family was showered with presents galore! 🎉 Feeling hurt and neglected, she made the decision to leave the festivities early. 🚗 But did she overreact? 🤔 Let's see what the internet has to say about this holiday drama! 👀
Empathetic reply supports OP's actions and emotions. 👏
