Do your parents give you Christmas presents?

[angus]

No.  They did when they were alive. 

Also, I give Christmas presents to the boy.  We used to tell him that they were from Santa Claus but he became pretty skeptical about that early on, like around Kindergarten.  Now every time I mention Santa Claus he just rolls his eyes.  The wife and I also give each other Christmas presents, and I send my sister and her son something every Christmas as well.  Usually I shop, but this year I was lazy and just put a couple of Ben Franklins in a card and mailed it to her.  She just called today to say she received it, to my relief.  (I'm always nervous about sending cash in the mail.)

My wife goes wild with it.  Not only gifts for relatives, but insists on gifts for my son's teachers and some of her colleagues as well.  I limit my giftgiving to relatives.
