    i don't. my mom buys them and says they are from me. generally because i am not wealthy enough to afford them. but, you are right, christmas is not JUST about presents.

    I give gifts to my friends and family throughout the year. I don't need Christmas to do that!!, that's why I don't give out gifts at Christmas. Call me a Scrooge, I don't care. People who know me know better.

    Leo, it is not a point of being a scrooge, but, rather of getting older and having received all of the gifts of life we need, our greatest gift is to our animals, and and sincere wishes to each other for continued good health, and to share those same wishes with others getting older.

    Christmas has nothing to do with giving presents !! It is a christian holiday celebrating the birth of Christ, but the rich white man found away to make it into a profitable business.

    Not everyone exchange Christmas presents. Some people are Jewish or Muslim or Hindu or Tao, etc where presents are not commonly exchanged during this time of year.

    I believe in gifts... this year I cant afford them tho!

    My bf's family believes that if you are together for the holidays and are happy that is what is really important in life not some gifts. Which is helpful because I am broke.

    Well, I give presents sporadically throughout the year when they're least expected. My friends all know I am a Freethinker and do not observe any religious holidays.
