I'm not a fond believer of giving gifts in Christmas. That's why I don't put it in my priority list to save. I never celebrate Christmas or New Year with my parents because they are always working at this time of the year.
However, I only give birthday presents to those I truly care in my life.
Giving gifts at Christmas times is not celebrated in my family. I think it's great because we never associated Christmas with gifts, it's a holiday for us. Though, we don't celebrate it like everyone else in Canada because it's not our culture. Thank god I have my boyfriend's family side to celebrate with. xD Too bad I'm going to China this year... I won't get to celebrate my first Christmas with GuiGui. =O
No budget for Christmas presents this year

The past few years I've spent christmas with BF's mums side of the family which has been nice. There's always a ton of people, and the gift giving is only for the yonger children. Mainly it is an excuse to spend time with family. When I have children I hope that christmas doesn't take over our lives like it does to some families. I would love to be able to give my kids money to spend on the boxing day sales instead - they can get what they want, for much cheaper.
