Christmas Gifts Funding

During planning the Christmas party the question came up as to if we were going to provide presents. I’m looking for sections of the handbook that can provide guidance to this. Pretty sure we shouldn’t use church funds for it but people are already wanting to give donations.

These sources may help:
General Handbook sections
20.2 Planning Activities
20.2.6 Funding for Activities
20.6 Policies and Guidelines for Funding Activities
20.6.1 Activities Paid for with Ward or Stake Budget Funds
34.7.2 Budget Allowance
34.7.2.2 General Principles and Guidelines
Pay attention to paragraph 5, "Stake presidents and bishops make sure budget allowance funds are spent wisely. Funds should be used to bless people and to further gospel purposes." (emphasis added)

Help Center article The “Other” Category

While it doesn’t speak to it directly I think this offers enough guidance. Thank you.
