Well, at least you got to spend the day with your family, have a great meal and ya got some house warming gifts to boot. I am by myself, overseas, in a place where I say "Merry Christmas" they don't say squat. I spent the day calling my family and friends and wishing them a happy Christmas, got some fried chicken, a beer and a rental DVD. I wish I was home on a day like yesterday. I mean, I am happy to be where I am but it just isn't Christmas unless your home.
That being said...regarding presents, I told my family long ago...gift certificates!!! They are happy, I am happy. Let them know next fall when the shopping season starts, to give you gift certificates. Anyhow, enjoy your new apartment and Happy New Year!
