Do you swap Christmas presents?

Postby Sammy Boy » Tue Dec 21, 2010 3:51 am

Just wondering if you swap gifts during Christmas?

My family does not really, we just like to hang out for a meal together.

Since I've had two nephews though, I've decided to give them some of my LEGO sets each Christmas.

For myself, as I am still into toys, I decided to get myself a He-Man figure (from the new "classics" line).

Yep. My mom is still big into giving my brother and me presents from 'Santa'. But now that we're older, my brother and I give presents back to our parents.

We've always given gifts to eachother at my place, for as long as I can remember. 'Course, as we get older we have to start using our own money! T.T

My dad's side doesn't really do gifts anymore except for the kids. My mom and sister will usually give me some candy or lotion or something. My husband's family gives gifts every year and I kind of wish they didn't, frankly. I usually make cookies or bread or something for family and send cards to my friends.

Yeah, we enjoy doing it, as long as we remember the symbolism behind it.

hiding the item's name because of siblings here?

My family does a gift exchange every year, but we don't exactly shower each other with presents. We usually end up with about 2-3 items/person.

Generally, only our immediate family give presents to each other (resulting in several gifts each), besides the occasional hamper from relatives.

Indeed, me and my family exchange gifts :D This year it was extra special due to my Sister getting Married and bringing in her Husband to our family. We welcomed him with open arms and made it the best Christmas ever!

Do you mean swap gifts like Secret Santa? If it is, then yes. Every Christmas party I have been always has a gift exchange, sometimes they even put in price limits on our gifts.
Whatever the season in life, the RIGHT attitude makes all the difference.

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."
Psalm 121:1-2

"Though our paths may have diverged, you must continue to live out your life with all your might; you must never consider your own life to be something insignificant, and you must never forget about the friends whom you loved for as long as you live."
The Third Rule of Fairy Tail


"Mistakes are not shackles that halt one from stepping forward. Rather, they are that which sustain and grow one's heart.
Mavis Vermilion, Fairy Tail
