Thanks but no thanks

For Christmas I bought nieces and nephews small gifts and gave them money. I don't have a lot of money and had to save to be able to afford this, going without things in order to save enough. I don't receive Christmas presents from them and nor do I expect them. But here we are two days later and I haven't even had a thank you. I feel hurt and left wondering if this is the "done thing" nowadays?

If they said thank you when you gave the gifts why isn't that enough?

Did they not say thank you when you handed it to them? I'd stop giving if they don't give to you and they aren't greatful.
