Doubt you're a moocher.
My non-nuclear family is truly worthless. When my grandmother was alive, they would constantly hit her up for money. My nuclear family was her primary care. We completely took care of her. Grandmother would basically make us give them money/things, etc. And I don't mean $100 here or there, but we find ways to leverage things and barter so they could have a new washer or a new car or a few thousand dollars to pay rent/bills. And we'd do it repeatedly for her. Sure, we were better off than them, but in no way higher than low-mid middle class. She passed, and obviously they're looking for handouts.
As an example - my aunt asked my grandmother for her part of the inheritance(she would get most of the jewelry that granny owned), so she could pawn it off because she needed money. Bear in mind, my grandmother was alive and well.
One of my cousins accused 2 of my other cousins and myself of raping/molesting her when she was younger.
Same cousin accused my dad of molesting her at a later date.
I legitimately have an unending amount of reasons to hate my family.

Now, I DID move 1000 miles away from them, but the reality is that their shenanigans stopped bothering me YEARS before that. The only person you affect by having that sort of anger are yourselves. Just put distance between you--them, and refuse to discuss the issues or be a part of them with the family you DO enjoy. Saying, "I'm not interested in being a part of that."
You'll be glad you did!

Maybe my experience is different than yours. Males are responsible for hanging lights and decorations out side where it's cold and ****ty, cutting down a pine tree full of sap, shoveling snow, eating poorly baked sweets and meat that wasn't grilled... Not to mention the expectation that I actually give a **** about gifts you asked me for 7 months prior, and the tantrum you throw when it wasn't he right ****ing shade of purple.

And then talk to me about the Christmas tree that I hauled up from storage, put together, and that I decorate with the kids every year in handmade crafts that we spent days completing...the one that I waited until after Christmas our first year together to buy so I would get 50% off, because he always bitches that Christmas is "too damned expensive".....OR the one you possibly spent an hour chopping down that I have to clean up needles and sap for 6 weeks from....
Lol, I'd like to see a man who has trouble getting the sauce warmed up at the same time the pasta is done ..juggle a full Christmas dinner for 12 PLUS desserts PLUS washing all the good China before and after the meal. (AND WE DON'T HAVE A DISHWASHER!)
Lastly, seriously, if you can't be bothered to write down the thing she really wants/e-mail it to yourself you can just buy her jewelry. ...which is way easier than the constant, obnoxious, "Don't get me anything" mystery you dump in our ****ing laps. JUST PICK SOMETHING FFS.
BUT, before we talk about your teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy, contributions...let me put this into perspective for you.
I spend between 4-6 hours just wrapping gifts.
Sorry, you were telling me about how hard Christmas is for males?

Tell me more about how you spent two hours putting up Christmas lights that I originally had to fight the mall to purchase and then untangled (because you CBF to do more than throw them in a heap at the end of the season) and laid out for you having ensured they worked and didn't need replacing.

Also, Fir > Scotch > Spruce for how long a Christmas tree will stay good but 6 weeks is too long for any of them.

I spent many summer weekends swinging a machete in 300 acres worth of Christmas trees. And many Thanksgivings loading a semi-truck full of Christmas trees for delivery downstate so the lot could open the Friday after Thanksgiving.
On the plus side --- free Christmas Trees!
