to tell you other than I'm 41 and my husband (of 25 years) is 43. I have 1 brother 11 years older than me and his wife (of 33 years) and my parents still buy us all kinds of Christmas presents! On the other hand, my husband's family does not, different financial situation for one thing and another is way bigger family! I don't really know what the right thing to do is. I guess it just all depends on you and your financial situation. If I couldn't afford it, I think I wouls just explain that they are grown up now and Christmas really isn't abou the presents, especially, like you said, when you're not a kid anymore!
