I believe so - my brother and I both generally get 100-150 dollars from each parent. This Christmas, he's asked for a PSP, so he'll be getting that and one game - two presents total.
On the other hand, I didn't ask for anything expensive, so I'll get about $100-170 cash plus several small, cheap gifts.
I don't believe it's fair if one person gets a lot of extravagant, expensive thing and the other person gets the same amount of gifts - but they're all cheap. So if you want something expensive, you shouldn't expect to also get a lot of other presents.
It's easy to say that Christmas shouldn't be about gifts, money...but let's face it, to many people, that's all they think about.
If you're buying for kids, especially, and they think that their sibling is getting much better presents, it could ruin their mood, so matter how good their presents are. It doesn't mean they're greedy - they're just normal. So the gifts should be as evenly priced as possible.
And also, a Merry Christmas. :)

It isn't the cost of the gift,it is the thought that counts,or is suppose to. I would get what I could afford,as I always do and if they don't like it they can give it back to me and I will take receipt and return it and yes I have done that before. Merry Christmas

I have 2 kids, one 10 and the other 5. The 10 year old wants more expensive gifts. I told her the ones that she wants are expensive so she may not get as many as her brother. And yes it is a time for giving and its not about the money but for families who dont have much, the money does count. I try to make it as even as possible, as for as how many gifts they get. Cause you know kids, they all want the same amount. I know I did as a kid. Its a hard concept to take on as a kid. As an adult, I really dont care how many I get or if I even get one at all. I just like to watch my kids have fun on Christmas Day.

Christmas shouldn't be about a monetary value or amount of presents. It's a time for giving, not receiving. LIke the old adage goes, "it's the thought that counts."
There isn't a real definitive answer to this because it's a broad question with many answers. But I suppose, simply, yes. Because if one gift that you actually wanted costs as much as 5 gifts that aren't nearly as cool, you want that one gift.

It depends on who's "u" and who's "their"?
Have a Merry Little Christmas!

it isn't about how much it costs it's about the effort and the time you put in to it. And besides Christmas isn't about gifts (although they are really awesome) its about being with your friends and family or your husband, your children, girlfriends, wife, boyfriend etc. the gifts are just their to CELEBRATE being together.
and you have a merry Christmas also.

I do not feel that Christmas is about the money. You must get from the heart. I find that Christmas has become a material holiday and it is not.

Yes, especially if you are illiterate.
