Do you get presents from your significant other? Or also from members of your family, including parents and siblings? Other friends too?
Just curious! I don't think I've gotten a Christmas present since Junior high school!
-
We exchange gifts with each other, my parents/aunt/uncle/grandma, and his parents/brother. Then we do a big white elephant with all of his extended family.
-
My parents, siblings, inlaws, grandma, and DH.
Although this year DH and I aren't giving each other gifts, instead we're going to spend our first baby free night away!
-
Whaat?! that's crazy!! Poor mrbee! We should all send you a gift :):)
I get gifts from DH, my BFF, my grandparents (usually $$), DH's grandparents and sometimes the IL's, my parents and whoever drew my name at Christmas. All the siblings draw names each year so we only have to buy for one person plus our parents.
Any extended family and friends parties we do white elephant or dice gift exchanges. Some are jokes and some aren't.
-
Hubby and I exchange gifts. My parents and my favorite aunt always give us a gift for our birthdays and Christmas.
-
Hubs, parents, siblings, in-laws (parents/siblings), grandparents (on my side, not Hubs), one of my friends, and sometimes one of my other friends.
-
Living abroad, it's totally hit and miss. At home though, it would be my parents and siblings, DH's parents and siblings and grandparents. We have 9 siblings between us - lots of gifts!!!
-
We both exchange with parents, siblings, and a few other close family members. I exchange with my brother's girlfriend and a few other close girlfriends. We are really into Christmas!
-
I get gifts from my husband, my parents, and my inlaws.
-
DH and I exchange something small. My parents give us a few gifts but my siblings and I don't anymore. Gifts only for nieces/nephews.
However, my in-laws are ridiculous! They give/expect around 10 gifts each. It's insane and I hope to put an end to it this year. It makes the holidays so stressful because we have to find a million gifts for people that don't need/want anything.
-
SO, family, close friends.
Do you not exchange gifts with Mrs. Bee?
-
ILs, dh, brother, and sometimes cousins/friends...
-
I usually get presents from DH, my parents, my in-laws, and my aunts and uncles. I have a close group of 4 or 5 girlfriends and we usually do secret santa so that we only have to buy 1 gift.

@mrbee: WHAT, since junior high?! Sad
These days, it's DH, my parents and my sister. Although last Xmas, I told DH, "we don't need to exchange gifts this year"... But I totally didn't mean it and thought he would get me SOMETHING. Unfortunately, he took me seriously and I was very disappointed on Xmas day. haha!.
-
Husband, brother in law, in laws, siblings, and really good friends. This year might finally change to Only gifts for kids.

@mrbee: what?! no christmas presents? i'm sad for you!
the hubs and i exchange our own, and then we do christmas with both of our immediate families, and then go to different christmas celebrations where we exchange with our extended families (grandmas, aunts, cousins, etc.). we do a lot of christmas, and i love it!
-
DH and I exchange every year. Then we get gifts from parents and siblings. Also we still get gifts from aunts and uncles on my side. This will be the last year, cause once you have a baby, no more gifts from aunts and uncles.
-
I get a pile of gifts from Santa, gifts from my siblings and parents and gifts from my DH. Also I get probably 75-100 neighbor gifts. Like fruitcake, bread, fudge, chocolate candy.
-
If we're with family then our parents, siblings, and sometimes aunts/uncles. If we're on our own then nobody.
-
We exchange gifts with DH's family -- parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings. On my side of the family I only exchange with my younger sister. DH and I try not to spend money on each other but we always give in and buy a small gift to open.
