mil is a nurse and my mom got her degree in a accounting. my mom decide to stay at her job rather than go do accounting because she thought it was boring. MIL acts as if my mom didnt try to do better and she is just stuck in her dead end job. My mom also never remarried after she got a divorse from my dad she did have a few relationships but non worked out and MIL asks as if she has the life that my mom is jealous of her  or thats what she tries to implies anyways. when her husband cant stand her and i think cheats on her and if he doesnt than he flirts with girls right infront of her and drinks too much doesnt have a job. Yeah my mom is real jealous of that! I cant stand that she devil. the funny thing is to is that she has no class. she makes sure she keeps the price tags on the stuff she gets us on whatever holiday and everything is money money money with her. (ps her gifts are cheap and she acts like she spends soooooooo much at xmas and never fails to tell us how much. I forget last years amount but i will be sure to tell you this years. Ill have to point it out to her how tacky it is to so that and to talk about money and how much you make and stuff. )

How about right before xmas you send out xmas cards and put "This year's xmas gathering will be at XYZ's house (as usual?).  This year, however, we would like to focus only on the love of giving, rather than the cost of the items, so we are asking everyone to please remove all price tags and references to how much money is spent.  It is the season for giving from the heart, not from the wallet.  Thank you"

Oh, and only put it on her card! Let her call around and see if you put it on anyone elses ;)
