Just a heads up, whatever you do, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT be empty handed on Christmas morning!

Not true.
The last 2-3 years me and my girlfriend have been making an agreement to take the money we would have spent on each other and instead use it for something we need or would like to upgrade. Last year we bought a TV and this year it will either be a washing machine or furniture.
We both prefer it this way, and while we may not have anything for each other in the morning, its quickly forgotten when whatever you both buy together is set up.
And on the contrary, if you decide to go the described way, do no uinder any circumstance have a gift waiting for her/him that morning. I couldn't imagine how it would feel if I didn't have a gift for her while she lied and got me one, I'd be pretty embarassing and pissed off.
