Melbourne
(ANI):
There
won"t
be
carols,
turkey
or
a
multitude
of
gifts
at
the
Madonna-Guy
Ritchie
household
this
Christmas,
for
the
couple
cancelled
the
festival
two
years
ago.
Ritchie
recently
revealed
that
the
family
had
cancelled
Christmas
a
couple
of
years
ago.
This
means
that
while
their
kids
Lourdes,
11,
Rocco,
7,
and
David,
2,
will
only
be
getting
three
gifts
each,
he
and
Madge
will
not
be
exchanging
any
gifts.
The
only
time
they
will
be
giving
each
other
presents,
is
during
their
anniversary
on
December
22.
The
no-Christmas
rule
is
not
only
because
of
the
couple"s
strict
Kabbalah
faith,
but
also
because
Madge
feels
that
Xmas
has
become
too
commercialised.
That"s
the
reason
why
there
won"t
be
loads
of
gifts
under
the
tree.
However,
Ritchie
insists
that
the
kids
are
happy
with
their
gifts.
"As
long
as
the
kids
get
three
presents
at
Christmas,
everyone's
happy,''
News.com.au
quoted
him,
as
saying.
Also
missing
from
the
Ritchie
household
will
be
the
traditional
Christmas
dinner
or
lunch.
The
turkey
and
stuffing
will
instead
be
replaced
by
low-fat,
macrobiotic
feast
prepared
by
the
chef
that
will
be
based
on
grains
-
such
as
quinoa
-
and
vegetables.
There
will
be
a
small
amount
of
unsalted
meat
for
the
children
and
for
Ritchie
though.
"They
entertain
beautifully,
but
it
isn't
what
you
would
call
conventional,''
the
website
quoted
a
friend,
as
saying.
"A
housekeeper
will
set
out
a
great
big
table
covered
in
stuff,
all
macrobiotic,
which
no
one
dares
eat
unless
Madonna
tucks
in.
They're
all
terrified
of
her,''
the
pal
added.
