We also exchange gifts. We do that on the new year's eve, when clock rings midnight and the year is changing.
It doesn't have to do with big or expensive presents. But there is a prejudice, saying that whatever you do in the first day of the new year, the same you ll be doing for the next of the year as well. So, we give and receive presents, with the hope that similar happy moments we ll keep living whole year. (Hope dies last ha? )

I forgot to mention that I buy presents, even for people that can't be with me that day, but somehow I feel close to them. So, there is usually a big bunch of presents under my christmas tree and an empty wallet in my bag

Yep. Exactly at the beggining of New Year, at 00:00. The only one receiving presents on Christmas too, is my spoilt daughter!
Btw... is my present under your tree already, twinny?

New Year used to be the time to exchange gifts in Scotland as well. Christmas Day was a normal working day until the 1970's.

Well I remeber when we only got Christmas Day off and NEVER had New Years day off - I think the Scots started that one!! Due to hangovers??

hahaha...no it's already passed pizza, just...but still too close to christmas.
when i was younger i would usually get one present for my birthday and christmas...how annoying when everyone else got two - one for birthday, one for christmas.
