In my family we used to make a wish-list with priorities. Sometimes we would put money together to get the person what she needs or really wants.
But in general there ware a lot of small gifts for Christmas (some silly).
I got and gave different things but the best always were games for all family: we would spend hours playing together.
This year my kid is going to get 3-dimentional wood puzzles (shapes) and maybe some Bosh workshop or tool for Kids as he is trying to get into my tools drawers recently. Those are going to be second-hand as I don't think he needs gifts for more than 30euro. Sth like:
But he is smile and he doesn't care except for electronics: he nows perfectly well that my mobile is better than his one, tablet better than mobile, and my computer better than tablet. He is 18mo!!!
The only expensive gift this year will get my mom as I think she needs it. She will get Thermomix, which I got 3 months ago already looking for a good deal.
Getting into debt for Christmas for such expensive gift sounds crazy to me.
I hope I'll teach my son to get joy from small things.

Christmas is overrated for me. It is just another day like any other...... 
thinking back I do remember one year I wanted a purple stuffed cat with curlers in her hair - but my parents wouldn't let me capture and color my neighbors cat.....
so people just have no christmas spirit.... and it has been downhill since.....
