Christmas gifts and godchildren

[pixie dust 112]

I have a question about giving gifts to godchildren at Christmas. Do you give their siblings a present too? It is hard for me to give one a nice present and ignore the other child or even give a lesser gift. But then the godchild isn't being treated "special".

I give an extra gift to my nephew who is my Godson for his birthday and Christmas. I plan to do this forever. His brother and sister get a gift from my family for these occasions, but Godson gets an extra gift from just me as his Godmother, because our relationship is special. I believe the godparents of his siblings get them an extra gift.

My children each get a special present from their godparents. I wouldn't expect the godparents to get gifts for my other kids.

Between my dh & I, we have 8 godchildren. On my dh's side, we stop giving gifts at 18. The precedence was set before us so we are just going with the crowd. His family doesn't buy sibling gifts either though so no big surprise. The family is very large and spread throughout the Midwest.

On my side, the kids are still under 18 so I don't know what I'll do. We pick names for Christmas and get together for birthday dinners (I am 1 of 5 kids) so gift giving is limited. My godson is 16 though so I will be figuring out soon!

DS15s Godmother (friend of mine) is very generous. DS (& I) do get her a comparable gift at Christmastime.

DSs Godfather (my Dad) passed away when he was 2 (1994)
