If someone gets you a Christmas gift do you always reciprocate?

Sometimes I'll get someone a gift and not want them to feel they need to get me one, but that's difficult for some people.

Not always... nor do I expect anything back if/when I give them a gift.
I love giving presents more than getting in all honesty.

if someone gives me a gift and I don't have something to give them back, I always feel like a giant d-bag.

hasn't been an issue in a long time now that my circle of friends/associates is smaller and my we've settled into a pattern of not giving each other gifts (we all just go out to a really nice meal together instead), but back when it was (mostly college and when I used to work with females), I'd always buy a couple gifts that I knew I could give to people but could also keep and use myself if they didn't get given out, and I'd bake a couple tins full of cookies to give out as generic gifts.
