Default Do you actually give at Christmas?

As the title says, do you send cards and presents to loved ones, etc, at Christmas ... or do you just not bother and expect to receive?

Always buy way too many cards for how many friends I feel comfortable giving them to, and always get presents... have done everyone's already except my niece and aunt.

I send a few cards and buy presents. I also buy presents for the family for Hanukkah, you give presents for eight nights so they tend to be quite small things.

I always send loads of really long cards to people, not that great with the presents, I get for my immediate family and something small for the kids I babysit for and that's all.

You're a Chinese child working in a sweat shop? Where'd you get the computer? Or did you make that as well?

..I don't give paper cards either..I stopped years ago..they're so environmentally unfriendly and pointless....

..I send e-cards to family and close friends and donate to a charity instead...there are a lot of people I know, who do the same...

..I do get a lot of cards though, unfortunately...mostly from children...grown ups know how I feel about them....
