I get to go a little more slowly regarding most of my gift-giving though: in order to save money, a couple years ago I started inviting family and friends to celebrate and exchange gifts on the 12th day of Christmas instead of the 1st and it's been fun and a lot less expensive for all. Of course, there's still decorating, baking, host/hostess gifts, and presents for the little ones on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but stretching the deadline relieves a lot of the stress.
