MY siblings and I are all in our late 30's to late 40's, and have the discretionary income to buy our own wants and needs, so we gave up the gift-giving years ago, except for the little ones. That eliminated most of the stress (of coming up with neat gift ideas for those that don't "need" anything).
Now we just get together and share time and conversation, play games, and just enjoy each other. Mom can't enjoy the holiday without preparing a feast and decorating the house, so we let her, and help out in whatever ways work.
I actually enjoy my late-night trips to the stores that stay open late (or 24 hrs) to pick up the gifts for the children. The lines aren't too long at 2 am, even at "Toys R Us".
This year, since my family gathering will be held Christmas Eve, I'm volunteering to work on Christmas Day so that one of my co-workers who was scheduled to work can spend Christmas Day with his family. That will be my greatest "adult" gift.
