In my family we don't give gifts at Christmas (but we do have a Christmas tree and we do celebrate the season). We stopped giving gifts when the children were teenagers and it has eliminated a lot of the stress at this time of year. It also means that we don't have to pretend to like the cheesy presents that we used to get from distant relatives and acquaintances. Not to mention the cheesy ones from spouses.1
However .... if anyone wants to give me a non-Christmas present just for fun, here's an excellent choice: Noah's Ark.
It would look really nice on my office bookshelf. Thanks to PZ Myers for finding this gem. Don't bother getting one for him, he doesn't seem to appreciate the quality workmanship and the attention to detail.
1. Oops, did I say that out loud?
But they really skimp on the animals that come with it.
