For some reason my girlfriend's family are really into this. This year there is a multi-step process for deciding how many presents you will buy, distributing lists of the things you want, letting someone know if you have bought them something as a surprise, letting the group know if you have bought something someone has put on one of their lists. There is a worked example. To me this seems very bizarre. Am I the weird one

It’s not really OK to include non family members. Just say you will stick with your own thing and don’t worry they need not include you but looking forward to seeing them.

I can barely cope with buying a few presents for a few family members. I’d happily drop even that given the chance (kids excepted).

No need to develop your own version

Wtf ? The correct procedure for family gift exchange is a panic buying something a week before christmas which is politely put aside and never touched again once opened.

You could always claim bemusement and ask if they could produce a flowchart/PowerPoint or other presentation just for a laugh.

Who else on here leaves most of their shopping to Amazon or John Lewis on a Christmas minus 2 days basis?

This would probably result in just such a presentation

This sounds a bit of a nightmare. So glad with my family it's more a case of:
Windy: What would you like for Christmas?
Family member: I would like [ ].
[ ] is obtained and given with minimal stress.
Once you're over about 8, I can't see the point of presents being a surprise but maybe I am just miserable.
