I don't have a problem with large families making gift exchanges. I wasn't at your family gathering but if someone came at me with a speech about christians vs. communists, I'd think they were being a little self righteous. I think setting price limits is a good idea because it will remove resentment. People are human beings after all. People like getting gifts at Christmas. I don't understand how setting limits on how much people should spend on a gift is social engineering but again, I wasn't there.
