I have 7 immediate family members. I try to get everyone a little something (nothing over $20), but that’s the extent of it. We only have 2 kids, one 5 and one turning 4 on Dec 7. We never have “big” Xmases, even though I’ll pull out my accumulation of decorations and do up the apt for the holidays. A good Xmas meal, and that’s enough, if everyone can get together and don’t hold any grudges. Families, how do they work? : )
