Do you exchange gifts in your family?

Are you doing this in your family Christmas, exchanging gifts on the eve of Christmas, meaning December 24 before 12 midnight strikes. The 87 million people in the Philippines are Catholics, and all celebrate Christmas and even exchange gifts on the eve of Christmas. I understand that some people do not believe in Christmas or believe in God. At home, we exchange gifts, and even though there are only three of us at home, we still enjoy the spirit of Christmas. All my siblings and some close relatives, and friends see each other via video. We enjoy seeing my beloved nieces and nephews in the UK with their parents ( my sisters). They are migrating to Tauntun, UK. Also, my brother in Saudi Arabia, my cousins in California and New York. We all see and greet each other with a very merry Christmas. We all see each other exchanging gifts. It is indeed full of fun.

It's not really a tradition here to exchange gifts during the Christmas period over here but we do it once in awhile though.

We exchange gifts on the occasion of Diwali, not Christmas, as most of us here don't celebrate Christmas. All of my brothers come to my home, or we go to theirs and exchange gifts. It's a tradition here to do that.

I am not surprised if you are not doing this exchanging of gifts every Christmas. It might be part of your culture and tradition. The culture and tradition are deeply rooted in our country and in our family.
