My framily and I still exchange gifts and it's wonderful. We do go shopping on Black Friday at four in the morning. It's fun to pick out things for other people. And Christmas Eve it's nice to be a kid again and open a present that you don't know what's in it. Price of gifts is limited to $20 per person and there are 16 of us including six kids 13 and under. All this talk about the stress of Christmas shopping etc. is just a bad case of Bah Humbug. If you allow yourself to get into it, you can experience the joy of giving and yes, receiving.
