Madonna refuses to celebrate Christmas

Madonna has cancelled Christmas and has refused to let her three children celebrate the Christian holiday, according to her husband Guy Ritchie.

Ritchie revealed that Madonna, who is a follower of the Kabbalah faith, has banned the event for her 11-year-old daughter Lourdes, 7-year-old son Rocco and the couple's 2-year-old adopted son David Banda because she only celebrates Jewish holy days.

Madonna's husband 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."
