I am so glad that nearly everyone is old enough that I do not have to buy gifts, always hated that. There is just a few kids left in the extended family and not typically people I would buy for anyways, though their parents will get something.

As a kid we used to make our own Christmas Candy, and my mom and dad sold it around the neighborhood for extra cash.
Those are some of my fondest memories, making that stuff.
About 8 years ago, I had some really young cousins, I was 33 the oldest was 12, and they wanted to do something for all the aunts and uncles, so I taught them how to make all the candy my parents taught me to make.
It is still recalled as one of their funnest Christmas' ever.
Someone already bashed me for using the word "shit" when referring to my Holiday shopping...but this is my favorite time of year.
One reason I started in October, is because when I'm out and about I'm always thinking of others in my family, and when I come across something that I think fits them I get it.
I like to compile stockings, I don't care how old people are, you may still get a stocking from me. It will be the funnest thing to go through, and make you feel like a big kid again, because there will not be anything in there that you "need."
It will be full of nothing but fun crap to make your day brighter, and yeah a bunch of Christmas candy...LOL.
