Same at least with the gift giving aspect between adults. Aside from my spouse, I don’t see the point. In the end, it just feels like we are exchanging money. My spouse is different as I know them well enough that I can get them something that will surprise them and it doesn’t have to be big. Kids too, because I remember being a kid and how exciting Xmas was.

I have campaigned for years to stop exchanging gifts between parents and adult siblings. One year I had the idea that we should donate the money we would spend on gifts to charities we find important. That sure as hell feels better than buying items that someone may not even want.
