Christmas just for the kids ..

Christmas is for everyone. To whoever says Christmas is just for kids, I have only this to say...

Nuh-uh!

I'd love to buy for everyone but it's a numbers and money thing. It's just too much. So that's when we switched to just kids.

Yes and no, all my kids adult to underage get gifts from entire family. All kids in my family get gifts until married. My parents are bought for every single year. My siblings I only buy for the kids.

If I see a nice, suitable gift for an adult I'll buy it for them, but the only recipients I actively seek out gifts for are children & DH.

I only shop for adults now since all the kids are grown. On my side there is just my sister and my brothers daughter who recently reunited with us. We don’t usually exchange with dh’s side but his brother had a baby this year so I might buy for her since she is the only little one.

My brother and I just do gifts for each other's kids (3 each), however Mom gives gifts to him and his wife, DH and I, and our kids. DH and I also always make sure we have a gift too, even if it's small.

That's mostly what we do. We stopped exchanging with DHs siblings and their spouses. We give to all the nieces & nephews. We give to DHs parents because they give to all of us. With my sister who has no kids, she gives to our kids and we help the kids get something nice for her in return. DH and I don't give to each other.
I think of this as essentially "kids only" because that's where the focus is.

No but I wouldn't have a problem with it. I get my parents and sister gift cards. We all kind of fell into that years ago as we are all adults and can just buy what we want when we decide we want or need something and not wait until Christmas to get it as a gift. My in-laws think it's just not Christmas unless everyone gets gifts so we settled on the adults drawing names.

I do for my kids and grandkids, that being said my baby is 19, my oldest is 40. We don't send to dh's siblings, and I don't have any other family.

I buy for my kids, parents, niece and nephew. I dont care how old I will always get them gifts. They are the only ones I buy for.

We buy for any child under 18, my parents, his siblings who don’t have kids, and each other.

We do not buy for my siblings.
