mightybee, it's dwindling...all in all they aren't (too) bad this time but it's still early. I've mastered drinking and ignoring. Half the time my H will bring up something to me that they were all discussing after the fact and I have no idea what he's talking about.
We had a great Christmas this year. The kids are delighted with their gifts...Eli mostly with his toy broom - weirdo. My H asked for nothing other than footpods for his running shoes, which he ordered himself and a set for me LOL. But I also surprised him with a nice bottle of Scotch and I framed these two pictures of him dancing with Ingrid that he's always loved so he was happy. Also my brother gave him this vegan meal in box monthly subscription thing that he is THRILLED about (no joke). My brother totally nailed it.
My H gave me a super cool garmin watch that is a combo running watch with gps/fitbit/smartwatch that syncs to your phone. I LOVE it! He also gave me the Ray Bans I'd asked for. He always gives me some Kate Spade items for my stocking and this year it was a phone case (with cherries!) and a silver picture frame that says "Here's looking at you kid". He has really excellent taste so I'm always excited to see what he picks! From my dad I got running clothes and my mom always does socks, underwear, and a $50 (which is what her aunt who raised her did every year and she's taken over the tradition). She also gave me a makeup bag monogrammed with my initial that I'm surprisingly stoked about LOL.

jodielyn10 we got T a broom/dustpan too and he loves it. Like he will yell if anyone else plays with it. The other day he pulled a bag of popcorn out of the trashcan and dumped it so he had something to clean up. Little weirdo.
We were kind of spoiled this year. We haven't had much extra money well, since we bought our house and A was born. Our big (hand-me down) TV in the family room broke a few years ago and we just hung up the 32 inch TV from our bedroom. So my mom and dad (who are divorced, so it's super cute they did this together) bought us a 47 inch TV for Christmas this year. And my dad bought the Little People big animal zoo and all the other big animals and train that go with it for the kids. My dad is usually a last-minute gift card/cash guy, so I was really touched he actually thought about things we'd need/like.
Also, our dryer broke back in the summer and we just had been using a drying rack and air drying things or taking laundry to other people's house. So my IL's bought us a dryer on Black Friday that just got installed a couple weeks ago.
