Interested to find that a very religious Catholic friend of mine doesn't give his children Christmas presents. Does anyone do similar and is there a theological basis for this? I couldn't grill my friend as my jaw had dropped and it would've been rude but I'm wondering.
I do think Christmas has become too commercial but surely children get presents because presents were brought to the baby Jesus by the wise men? I can understand why adults perhaps shouldn't get presents.
