[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suggest (or have DH suggest) a secret santa exchange, as at least a starting point. Do you all get together on Christmas? Part of the fun is opening the presents and trying to guess who gave what. It is still about being together. In our family, the adults do a secret santa, and everyone gives presents to the kids. Kids "graduate" into the secret santa around age 17 and stop getting presents from all the aunts/uncles.[/quote] Do you give/get presents from the older generation to the younger generations? Or is it just the middle generation of adults exchanging gifts? DH's parents really go all out and spend about $500 on each of us for Christmas. That's what I'd like to curtail. DH and I can't receive gifts like that without reciprocating and spending $1500 on his family for Christmas isn't in the budget. We also would feel bad only giving his parents $50 gifts if they give us $500. [/quote]
