Christmas Shopping is done

My Christmas Shopping is done!! Much less gifts than last year, less money spent, a positive shopping.
This year it’s evident the crisis. People are saving, cutting to minimum the money they spend. The city Christmas lights are only used in the main avenue (Red and Golden lighting) and most houses have little or none outdoor lighting.
At home we have the old same Christmas tree, with the usual decorations, we only bought new Christmas Tree lighting but it was a cheap one with no music (we never use the music anyway).
I’m glad the kids already have a lot of toys and games, although it’s more difficult to choose a gift for them, they are not seeking for many things. So, once aunts/uncles and grandmothers/fathers are giving one gift each it’s easier to spread the gifts among them all making us buy less gifts. We usually talk among us and discuss what the kids want so that the gifts we buy are things the kids like and this way we make sure there are no double gifts.
What about you? Do you talk about the gifts your kids want with the other members of the family?
