So I guess teaching the real meaning of Christmas is out of the question.
Exchanging gifts to celebrate Jesus Birthday, and the wonderful story of st Nicholas.
If it's just to reward or encourage kids behavior then adults should do away with it by age 15 or 20. And, why bring a tree into your house if there is no story behind it. If it is just about mom and dad and grandparents buying the kids stuff why not do it when they really want it or to reward behavior monthly or quarterly.
There is a lot more to teach about Christmas than the fat guy bringing presents. However, for the very young it is a good excuse and story, until they can comprehend more of the real meanings.
