Always tell everyone not to bother with me, but I always end up getting 1 or 2
Hanukkah messes with the numbers, for me
@Kclemson do you do one gift per person per night? That seems like a lot.
fortunately we only have two kids, but yes one per night per kid. It certainly adds up.
@Kclemson what about for other adults? Like partners, siblings, parents?
For us the 8 days are just for the kids, and they’re already starting to get to an age where it’s a bit ridiculous (17 and 19). For adults on either side of our family (mine celebrates Christmas, his Hanukkah) presents just aren’t a huge part of our traditions at all… if we found something perfect then we’d give an adult a single present. Some years I give my sisters/mom/niece/nephews a gift, others not. Keep ‘em guessing 😉
are we talking about me personally or about family efforts?
Socks. Close friends and family all get a pair of nice wool socks.
@ecologist so did you count each sock separately
I considered whether I needed to count socks as one or two gifts, but no, I think each pair of socks counts as a separate gift, but I’m in the 6 to 20 category no matter the opinion on whether socks count as 1 or 2 items.
We don't give stuff to each other in my family for many years.
Yes, we gift each other with: presence, talks, trips & travel together.
Kids are used to it and are okay with that. If not, there are therapists out there 😀
Too late for the Dutch to answer. Sinterklaas has his birthday on December 5th and celebrates by giving presents to all kids (and grown up kids) who behaved well in the past year. No presents under the Christmas tree.
@fschaap "How many holiday gifts will you have given this season?"
Thanks! Localization is a way hard problem 😉 I voted 6-20: big family on one side, 10 adults and 10 kids.
ya'll clearly ain't parents.
… I was late to this poll, my answer is 2. (Mom & Dad)
I think I'm somewhere around 20-30.
Would you include homemade food items in your count?
@ecologist

For me personally, many of my gifts are homemade foods. Usually cookies, fruitcake, or eggnog.

What about you?
Absolutely, often we make candied pecans, savory pecans, beef jerkey and other holiday treats to share, but, honestly, I didn’t include these in my gift counts. *Asterisk on my survey response then. Making food to share is our love language and our main way of giving, but I didn’t think to include in the quick poll answer
