So my question:

Would you give up your presents to help these needy people, as was the original point of gift giving for christmas?

No, cuz the presents i get are usually electronic, and i doubt some poor naked little aids ridden ethiopian boy wants my wacom pad for christmas, so it will make us both alot happier :-)

Would I? Honestly, I would say no. I don't feel I should give away something that someone spent their hard earned money on to give to me. Why should I insult the present giver like that? He didn't want for the poor kid to have it. If he wanted the poor kid to have it he wouldn't of gave it to me. Why should I have to say, "Thanks for the gift, but no thanks." Why should I give away money? It's my money, I earned it. Or the person who gave it to me as a gift earned it. Like I said before, if the person giving you the gifts wanted them to have the gift they'd of gave it to them not you. So enjoy your shit and don't give it up.

I'm saying basicly, you and your family decide to help people out instead. I'm not saying make someone feel bad. If its your girlfriend, you hopefully wouldn't be dumb enough to do that.

I'd give any time around the year but christmas... mostly to UNICEF and such since some of the things that they're trying to do isn't just temporary.

But at xmas time, I cant' afford it... since I'm spending on gifts and whatnot.

I'd do it.

I really don't like getting stuff anyway.
It makes me feel spoiled, even though I appreciate it. :P

Is it bad that I laughed a little when I saw the picture of the little child? I was all, "I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE RING, GOLLUM!"

I prefer to give my time and energy to charities. My money goes to keeping my delusions of a future alive.
