Just shy of $1000.
About $250 per kid, so $750 right there. I'm sure there's some delusion involved in this type of thinking, but I give my kids gifts of things I would likely get them anyhow: swim gear for DS; horseback lessons for DD; art supplies for DSD. "Family Gift" of a day at the ski park. And clothes, socks, PJs for general restocking. My MIL was visiting so bought her a gift for about $40.
The rest of my extended family has gone from a gift-a-thon to drawing names with a $50 limit, but this year decided to pool all the $$ we would have spent on that and "adopt" a family in our community in extreme need. So we bought the kids in that family warm coats, new shoes, toys, books, and a nice robe for the mom. There was enough to buy all the makings for a holiday dinner, with the rest loading up a grocery store gift card. It was done anonymously, and delivered by a friend of my uncle who dresses as Santa on Christmas Eve (he just looks like Kenny Rogers the rest of the year). Being involved in that actually made my holiday.
My younger kids were momentarily disappointed when a well-to-do family friend, who normally gives them cool stuff, sent out a letter that she was donating to Doctors Without Borders instead of buying presents for anyone on her usual list. We looked up DWB and they saw all the great work that's done around the so it ended up being a good discussion.
