Do you think I can get the family to agree on no presents this year? We're mostly adults and, of course, we'll get gifts for the kids but the rest of us have way too much stuff already.

This is practical and makes a lot of sense but people don't like it when you mess with their holiday traditions. You might have found that out the hard way when you decided to make something different for Thanksgiving. Never give up, though. Even when change seems impossible you can be surprised.
