I don't see my family for holidays anymore because of how terrible they behave. I've moved out of state away from them. I only have one brother and his wife that I talk with on occasion. They keep me in the loop about what's going on with everyone else. They have four children, and I feel that I'm missing out on having a relationship with them.

I'm thinking about for this year sending them a gift box filled with games, books and some easy recipes for kids to make and maybe add some fun Christmas ornaments. I'd like them to receive it before Thanksgiving and tell them it's a school holiday break box.

Does anyone else send something for relatives who are far away?

We usually send my nephews and nieces Christmas gifts. We live about an 8 hour drive from them, so never see them around the holidays. (I never get extended time off around the holidays, and work on many of them, so going to visit just won’t happen.)

I like the gift box idea.
