Those that think Christmas is "overrated" are probably celebrating the wrong things.

I would suggest, however, that families consider forgoing the gift exchanging (except maybe for immediate/close family). We used to draw names and do an exchange for extended family and inevitably nobody got anything they wanted/needed/could use because people were buying gifts for folks they only saw once or twice/year and didn't really know. We made the decision a few years ago that we would only buy gifts for the kids, and then pool the money we would've otherwise spent on useless gifts for one another and, instead, donate it to St Jude. Everyone is happier, less stressed, and the money actually goes toward a worthy cause.
