Madonna cancels Christmas

Madonna has "cancelled Christmas" and refuses to give her children any presents.

The star's husband Guy Ritchie says Madonna - who is a devout follower of Kabbalah, a mystical off-shoot of Judaism - will not allow their seven-year-old son Rocco, two-year-old adopted son David, and the singer's 11-year-old daughter Lourdes to celebrate the Christian holiday.

Speaking at the London premiere of new Christmas movie 'Fred Claus' yesterday (19.11.07), Guy told BANG Showbiz: "We cancelled Christmas two years ago in our household.

"Once we cancelled it we stopped all the presents, and once we stopped all the presents we started enjoying ourselves more."

Followers of Kabbalah only celebrate Jewish holy days. They do not recognise Christmas or Easter as they do not believe that Jesus is the son of God.

Madonna has been involved with Kabbalah since the late 90s.

In 2006, it was revealed the 49-year-old singer had spent $2.4 million promoting her faith around the world in the previous four years.

Madonna changed her name to the ancient Hebrew name of Esther and has based her series of children's books on the faith's teachings.
