We are religious but in our religion Christmas is not a time for giving unless you happen to be celebrating a name day on Christmas Day.
But since we have lived in Australia for close to 40 years and in the spirit of capitalism mum buys us gifts for Christmas and combines Christmas, birthdays and name day gifts into this one day.
I generally just give my parents some cash as they are well past the receiving gifts age although I may get mum some perfume this year.
