A quick Thursday poll! It's that time of year. (When I say "Christmas", take it to mean your personal holiday at this time, be it Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanza, etc.)
Notes: 1) the bit about kids, that can mean either your kids or other people's kids. Some people (like me) don't have any kids around to buy for, which I think will change how the answering goes.
2) By "equal", I mean like parents or siblings or siblings' spouses.

For the past few years, I've really been stressing to my family how much I don't care about the 'presents' aspect of Christmas, because everyone always gets worried about picking just the right gifts for people, and then about scheduling who will be where when, and it gets to be not fun.

My favorite thing ever about Christmas is getting the whole family together. *anticipates*

Because god knows I can't anticipate snow or anything...the predicted high temp. for Christmas day is in the 70s. *g*

I know what you mean about the presents thing. My extended family is far away, so I only need to buy for my parents and brother, and that's hard too. But I still like doing it, in a way, and nothing I say will convince my parents to not buy me gifts.

I'm looking forward to the food, though. My mother the chef (a real live chef) isn't going crazy over it, but Christmas day at their house is always very yummy.
