But when you tell people that you're not buying christmas presents this year, and they acknowledge that, but buy you stuff anyway...you kinda feel like an ass.
No, they should feel like an ass. Maybe they got it beforehand, and felt strange about it too. Our society should have more clear-cut rules about gift giving. It can certainly turn into a very uncomfortable game that is very hard to stop, or turn around. Stand your ground. Or accept the present and enjoy it, and let them decide next year whether this awkward situation is something they want to repeat.
