But we use to. We also have done where everyone brings a white elephant gift. Which here means something you have around the house that you don't like or use. It can be fun just watching people open up and see what they get. You pick numbers instead of names. And if some one wants a gift that someone else has gotten you can pick one of those. Just and Idea. Hope it all works out for you.
Linda, I have done that at work and it is soooo much fun!!! Sometimes someone gets something good and then it gets taken and taken and taken, so the last person ends up with it. It's lots of fun!

Our immediate family is so tiny that we just buy for each other, but we do not buy for all the nieces/nephews/etc.
