My parents are coming up to see me the weekend before Christmas. So they're spending the money on petrol and a hotel instead of a present, which benefits all three of us instead of just me. And of course for me spending time with them is a better present anyway.
My brother isn't as into presents as the rest of us. If you say to him, "No presents this year" he'll just go along with it.
And that's it on the present front - I don't have hordes of people queuing up to shower me with gifts.
I'm making cards for the above, which I hope shows more love than spending the money/ vouchers they would send me on presents to send back to them.
As I was typing this, my Mum called to say she's booked the hotel. I have something to look forward to now
