I vote on the scrooge side, I dropped out of the whole gift mania a long time ago. DH and I give to charity instead of each other, and adult members of the family also get donations to charity.
When I married him, his family was like this. We gave MIL and FIL home made jam for a gift, they gave us a $10 gift box from Wisconsin Cheeseman. DH's brother gave his parents a TV for xmas, they gave BIL and SIL a TV. We both refused to be part of that.
Please stop and think - people in this country have SO MUCH STUFF - other people around the world have so little. How can I go out and buy a sweater for someone when I know there is a mother in Haiti who is watching her children being sick and there aren't enough doctors or medicine. I am not a Christian but I know you say, WWJD? I bet he would not be shopping at the Gap.
I do not mean to be Debby Downer - I would like to say a big God Bless you to all the people on the board who do so much wonderful work for charity, quilts for kids, vets, etc. I am just blown away by how much love and generosity there is in this small group. Best wishes to all and may your holidays be filled with LOVE.
