I tend to give nice gifts, and end up blowing all my loot, only to receive mediocre presents, i hate christmas!!! and since my bday is on 12/14 people double up on me...
 
hmm...."shafted", "blowing you loot", and "double up on me".

my sexual innuendo meter is going off the scales 🙂

btw, sucks for you, man.

If I give someone something nice, I expect something nice in return, I guess I'm a selfish prick :roll:
 
I don't really blow my loot, I just get my friends something small and meaningful and I don't care whether I get something back or not.
 
No gifts...

We buy for all the kids under 15yr old... that's it...

We take up a family collection from all the adults, then I shop for toys for poor kids and take them to the local welfare office.

Last year, we all threw $$$ in a pot and got over $1,000!!!

🙂 🙂 🙂
 
My birthday is Jan 5th, so i get that combo gift as well from people. It works out sometimes though since people usually spend more on the Xmas gift then normal.
 
Our son's bday is 12/14 as well. We have always kept it separate from Xmas and made sure family/friends did the same. Cheap bastages who try "combo" gifts get an earful from both the wife and I. Fair is fair and just because a person's bday is close to Xmas is not an excuse to lump them together.

There, I partially supported your position. As for you giving nice gifts and getting mediocre in return, that's your own fault. Retribution is sweet. 😉
 
haha, i see where your going toe, so i should give all of my friends a nice box then BAM A FORK IN THE EYE!!! YEAHHHH!!!!

There isn't a law that says you have to give gifts for any occasion, you know.
 
I just wanted to say that I too am a selfish prick. I don't really get into the whole Christmas thing, I'm a selfish prick all the rest of the year too.

So if it's a present, and they don't know what it is until they open it, how are they supposed to know that you got them something nice?

Same here. sigh
 
I'm giving (looks at list) two computers, a studio recording deck, a Gamecube, and a clean house.

I'm getting token sentimental gifts, and that's all I asked for. That and a little assistance running the holiday party.
