In our family, we don’t give any gifts. Not even Chanukah gelt. I just buy chocolate coins and donuts and fry some Latkes, while the kids play with dreidels. Even as a kid, my parents never gave Chanukah presents. I never understood why people gave presents every single night of Chanukah and if they did, I heard mostly people that weren’t so frum gave every single night. I just feel that buying gifts seems so goyishe.
