It's always seen as a copout to combine christmas/birthday gifts.

We haven't exchanged gifts since we've been married (6 yrs). We always just buy what we want and don't bother with gifting anything.
This really will be the first 'gift' I've ever given to my wife . Possibly the last as well.

My wife has a December B-day and we don't typical gift anything more than a nominal present so the kids aren't disappointed. You are doing the right thing here. Dealers do not want inventory at year end. I beleive most states charge businesses a tax on inventory so they are always willing to shave a few dollars off at year end.
