But Christmas I always got awesome gifts!
Then as I got older, the people who sent me gifts each year died... so now I don't get anything,

Oh dear, I so know how that is. Same here. My sister used to send me the most awesome gifts. Especially for Christmas. Never one...always like about ten...beautifully wrapped. With handmade cards. She died three years ago and it is like a Christmas elf permanently left this earth.
The solution is...you have to learn to gift yourself. I have heard people say they are on their own and don't get any gifts. Nonsense.
When I don't have money I get creative. I buy watches at this Children's Toy Store. They are great watches and cost about ten bucks. I also buy kid's hats as for some reason they fit...and are so much cheaper than adult hats.
You are the elf who is going out every four days and feeding the homeless? Okay. You need to absolutely gift yourself. Buy socks and wrap them up for yourself.
Your Grandma sounded fabulous. When those cherished spirits leave this earth we have to pick up their magic wands and continue creating the magic.
