We do every year. With a family as big as ours we have no choice. Times are tight and it would be very difficult for any of us to buy for everyone. But, we "might" do what we did last year. If you wanted a gift, you bring a gift. Then we drew numbers and went up and just picked a gift in the order of the number you drew. After everyone was done opening their gifts we all had 5 minutes to decide to keep or barter for another gift. It was a lot of fun and nobody was offended.

Yes..of people less fortunate than our family. We stopped buying stuff for each other we never wanted/needed/used. Now we pay the gas bill for an elderly couple, or buy food for a woman with 3 kids for a week...etc.
We love our stress free Christmases. We love our debt free Januaries even more

Yeah we are. There are so many of us now and some of us have to travel to get back home so we are drawing names this year for the first time.

My family does that every year. If we didn't we would have to buy for so many people and christmas would get so much more expensive than it already is.

Yes. We do that. I didn't like it at first but it turns out to be a lot less stress. Of course everybody buys stuff for the kids. They clean up!

I wish my family would do that. It would take a lot of pressure off of me at least.
