We have a Winter Solstice tradition in our family. We ask, “what do you need” rather than “what do you want?” Yes, we do get the kids one big gift, but just like in the olden days when during winters people would have sparse items to use, neighbors would help out. So that’s what we do. It’s about giving back to us. My mom makes comforters, baby blankets, etc. I make baked goods, etc. It’s a lot of fun and it feels great to help each other.
