when the thought counts,

Quite Frankly -- I PREFER it that way -- because I KNOW then who my TRUE Friends are ... and who TRULY CARES for me.
IF the only reason someone talks to me or is kind to me over the holiday season is because I have something they WANT (or they are demanding 'gifts') ... then they are NOT WORTHY of being called 'friend'.
I did NOT get presents this year -- but that is because with all my siblings working, with myself being an Empty-Nesting Single Retiree (with her OWN PENSIONS) ... we ALL have everything that we want at this time -- and we are well able to provide for the things that we desire at this time as well.
So ... more than anything else -- we value just being able to be together or to talk to each other when we can't be together.

For christmas I assume? I am sorry to hear if this is the case for you. If I was in your position, I would very subtly and kindly let your friends and loved one know that you believe it or not didn't get any presents this year! Maybe the guilt they feel will cause them to reconsider or have a better chance to think of you next time.

Some people do not exchange gifts at Christmas and some people do not celebrate Christmas at all. Some people are not Christians. Some people are too poor, some people don't have children. I don't know all the reasons, what happened to you? Enlight us.

maybe financially they cant afford gifts...but they are thinking of you, so the thought counts.

Maybe a bigger one is waiting for you :) not materially speaking but for instance: love, or something really good might happen :) keep your head up

It means you have no family? No friends?
...or you don't deserve any!
So how generous were you?
