Do you exchange gifts with other adults? How many?
This year I have husband, bestie, and MIL—but I’m considering getting my brother and SIL something too.

Just my four grown grown kids. Mrs Adajax and I buy ourselves a joint treat. This year it was a new washer/dryer set.

Not many.
Hard to buy for adults that have their own money and have what they want already.

My wife does most of the shopping but it's "our" money so I'm counting it.
We buy gifts for each of our parents, our four combined siblings and their three combined s/o's. And we pool money for a big gift card for the grandparents, so let's call that an even dozen...way too many

Especially if they don’t drink.

None. Kids only policy. Not a fan of Christmas but I was a kid once so I participate that much.

I've floated this to my mother this year and she almost broke down in tears over it.
Then about 2 days later she did, in fact, actually break down in tears over having so many adults to buy for and no idea what to get and it's the weekend before Christmas.

Besides my immediate family, we buy something for both parents and then I buy a nice bottle of bourbon for my employees on my team.

If it was up to me, it would be zero adults. But at this point I think we’re at like 8.
ETA: not counting teachers. If we’re counting that, we’re looking at another 4.
