Grateful or non-grateful?

This Discussion is coming up because I am curious if you are a gratful person when it comes to getting gifts for the holidays. I got to say that I am grateful in fact so grateful for I get. In fact every year I will tell my hubby one or two things I would like for christmas. Usually it is a certain CD or cooking items. I will say that he does seem to get me more then what I ask for because he say's that it's not fair that I get him more gifts then what he gets me. I always have to to tell him that I don't care about getting gifts that I only care about giving them, because to me when I see the smiles on my family's faces that there alone warms up my heart. But the other day when I was at my hubby's family thanksgiving party, all of us adult's decided instead of us buying for each child we would pick a name for ecah child we have and the name's we pick is the names of the children that our children buy for, I think it was such a good idea since most of us still have tons of other people to buy for. So I figured since we all were on the christmas topic, I decided to ask my hubby's niece what she needed or wanted for christmas, so that I had ideas of what she would like. So she named off about a good 20 items and I told that she will get 2 gifts and she then said only 2. I said yes and asked her is there a problem with that and she said I was hoping for more then just 2. So I told her that she should be grateful that she is getting 2 gifts insted of none. So what I am wondering is was I was wrong for saying that to her? Her father did not say any thing to me about telling her that. Also are you grateful for what you get?
