Happen to stumble across this thread,
and we have a similar situation....
Have a large family with 5 kids + grandkids.
I think I mentioned some of this in another thread
about - bad feelings and gifting money -

Anyway.... since the families are not all the same sizes,
we generally felt the plan was to give everyone the $12,000 this year,
and then have them "gift" to the smaller (or single) family members
an appropriate amount to even things out from the larger family
and the single person...
