Man angry at mom when she excludes his GF and her kids from 'weird' x-mas tradition.

When this man is angry at his mom, he asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for calling out my mom after she excluded my girlfriend and the kids from our x-mas tradition?&quot; I&#39;ve (m23) been dating my girlfriend Ellie (f31) for almost a year. Ellie has 2 kids (f6, m4) and we get along really well.  I have a big family and it&#39;s pretty much impossible to have one Christmas event and expect everyone to make it, so my parents host their celebration the week before. My mom has a weird tradition with the &#39;kids&#39; (us) where she gives mini snow globes. It&#39;s very unique to her and it&#39;s sweet.  The event was last Saturday, and as usual mom pulled us aside and gave us this year&#39;s snow globes.  Now the snow globe giving extends to partners and I was expecting Ellie and the kids to receive one. My brother&#39;s wife Jane (f27-28) was there and mom gave her and her 5 yo daughter snow globes.  Mom&#39;s reasoning is that she doesn&#39;t know Ellie well enough to be included, but I said being my partner should be enough and she should&#39;ve at least included the kids. Ellie came to the event with me and she was upset when she saw mom didn&#39;t get one for her or the kids.  I got kind of annoyed and told mom she gets snow globes for Jane and her daughter, considering my brother wasn&#39;t her son (we&#39;re half brothers). If that&#39;s the case then she&#39;s excluding Ellie for no reason.  Mom got defensive and started getting mad, and we ended up leaving early.  I just don&#39;t think what mom did was right, these aren&#39;t expensive and she could&#39;ve got 3 more so Ellie and the kids could be included. I&#39;d get if it was just for us, but she gets them for partners and kids too.  I got a few texts later from my sister, saying I&#39;m creating issues and we disrespected my parents and Jane, and should apologize. AITA? Let&#39;s find out.ahavasavara writes: YTA.
