Does he do this every year?
Does he do this every year? And how does he even know what the other parents are giving? Sounds like he tries to buy their love. What to give should be a mutual decision based on your own finances & situation, NOT on what the other parents are giving!

I dont know
We werent living together last year so im not sure what he did then...But i do know this...Its a bunch of crap....Im sure he has contacted the Ex and ask...Apparently he has...They try to out do each other...On everything....Even now
I think I understand better
I think I understand better now...I was so confused that after 5 years you are all the sudden having all these problems...I didn't realize this is the first year you've lived with him. This is the exact reason, that after my ex, I decided I would NEVER marry someone again until I lived with them first. Its quite eye opening, isn't it?! RUN NOW!

My adult stepbrats will be disappointed this year
Usually H handed each of his 5 adult kids about that much for Xmas as well. Plus plane tickets. Plus dinners. I always thought it was waaaay to generous, but he went ahead and played Daddy Warbucks anyway. I understand your frustration, Nicole.
This year will be different. Stepbrats #2 and #3 have ruined H's credit, so his cards are useless. He just gave Poopsie Princess Stepbrat #1 a heap of cash for her Royal Wedding, and she wants more. Stepbrat #4 is not paying H back on her car loan. Can't give cash to Stepbrat #5 because she will snort it up her nose the same day.
I am not subsidizing H anymore, so he doesn't have money to spend. H has suddenly realized that his bonus needs to go in his own pocket just to pay his own bills every month.
So no money for Stepbrats this year! Stepbrat #2 has already planned a "Family Christmas Brunch" on Christmas day at her place (BD12 and I are not invited, of course)--most likely to facilitate the annual Daddy Warbucks cash payout. What I would give to see their faces when H shows up with 5 beautiful family picture albums but NO CASH.
Prediction: I will be blamed for spending all of H's money. Ha!
ummm...why in the HELL is he
ummm...why in the HELL is he leaving you & your daughter on xmas day to go to his daughter's house WHERE YOU ARE NOT INVITED?! What is going on with these guys?! Same thing with Mizmel's situation! ugh...

'cause that's the way it is
Also, 'cause H is a clueless jackass. Honestly, I look forward to the time alone with BD12--she is a great kid and I wouldn't want her to waste one minute with H's resentful, skanky adult kids. As far as I am concerned, he can spend all day with them if he likes.
I am so shut down toward H at this point it really doesn't matter. He'll be spending plenty of time with his skanks again soon enough!
aww...thats sad. I'm sorry
aww...thats sad. I'm sorry things have turned out that way for you!

Hey, Sarah, my Christmas is planned, too
SKANKFREE!
I'm working at "job No. 3" til 6:00 on Christmas Eve, which means I miss the annual Dysfunctional Idiot Christmas Eve Dinner (boo hoo); my D will be with her dad and will scarf me some great pierogies made by XMIL (her food doesn't reek of cigarette smoke like the food at the Jerry Springer family get togethers that currently take place); no skanks for me!!
Christmas Day; oh, I'll be here...like for a half hour. I really want to go see that Will Smith Movie (Seven Pounds); I know my D will want to go with me.
After that, the creeps will be GONE. And, I will have really spent NO TIME with them. Oh, I feel so empty inside...

I'm sorry but these stories
I'm sorry but these stories just sound so sad to me. I don't think I could live like that

sheessh..
Thats just ridiculous...I feel that when our off spring become adults then they need to understand that little ones come first. I always make sure the younger kids are covered for xmas and then get the adults a little something to open. I don't spend more then 20 dollars on my oldest or the other adults in my family for xmas...In my book xmas presents for for the kids, not the grown ups! Tell him to get them each a 20 dollar gift certificate to walmart and call it good! Sheesh...
