It does make sense @tea. We each used to spend $20-30 on each person’s present, but bumped the secret santa max limit to $100 so it saved money but meant we could actually buy something decent for that one person. I am an online shopping wizard and managed to get my brother 3 plain tees, 2 short-sleeved shirts, 1 formal long-sleeved shirt and a nice black windbreaker for about $105. He was stoked!
I usually do Christmas Day with mum’s side of the fam, then either Christmas Eve or Boxing Day with my dad. A couple of years ago I was in Canada for Christmas and all the stereotypical Christmas stuff finally makes sense when you’re somewhere cold for Christmas! I always felt bad for my uncle who had to dress in a big heavy santa suit in 40 degree heat every Christmas 😀
