You're not jerks, Erika. When we go to Thanksgiving at SiL's house we have to prep for BiL's loud, opinionated, VERY right wing father. We have a secret "just chill" signal to helo each other not rise to the bait. We go there for the SiL and the niece and nephews, and concentrate on them---since we figure they suffer enough in being related to an asshole.
      
      Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Are we jerks if we just send a gift?
Not jerks at all. A gift is a nice gesture and if the situation is going to expose you to people who make your head go "boom" I don't see it absolutely necessary to make a personal appearance.
