My family started a new tradition a few years ago. All the adults decided not to buy each other presents. Instead, we take all the money we normally would have spent and combine it into one fund. A name is drawn out of a hat and whoever wins gets to pick the charity we donate the money to.
Its been awesome! We don't have to spend as much time shopping and knowing we are helping others is wonderful. Only downside is having to buy my own socks each year!
Note: the kids and grand-kids still get presents though
