Hmm. The first one is too subtle, I think, for any of them (except maybe one, and she's the one that's getting socks) to pick up on. I'm not saying they wouldn't raise their eyebrow and it wouldn't get their attention, but I think it would be more along the lines of "Cheap bastard" than "why would he only give me this much? Could it be because I didn't get him anything for the past ten years?" It's just not the way us Fargos were raised to think, unfortunately.

Your second idea has some merit, but unfortunately would be too far. I don't want to ostricize myself from my family, and that would definately do it, quickly. My parents would say I'm acting like a child, and my brothers and sisters really still wouldn't get it. They're not dumb, they're just trained to ignore "lessons" like that.

The last one just shows your age. What are these eight-tracks again?
