I grew up in a family where expensive gifts or lots of gifts isn't the way to celebrate x-mas. Gifts are a material thing, and our family is not bonded together with gifts. We usually get each other one gift each. Nothing huge and fancy, except a few times of course.

We have a large family, so instead of buying everyone a gift, we draw names out of a hat for who we buy for, except immediate/close family, like mom, dad and brothers/sisters of course, so I buy for 1 relative, 1 for my bro, 1 for his wife, 1 for my mom, and 1 for my dad, so about 5-6 gifts I buy.

I spent about $150 this x-mas on gifts. Like I said, gifts mean nothing to us. It's being together than matters as we only see each other once a year.

While we're on the subject, what are Uggs?
