No Christmas in Madonna's house: Richie

Guy Richie is reported to have said his wife Madonna has cancelled Christmas and has refused to let her three children celebrate the Christian holiday.

Ritchie revealed to BANG Showbiz 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.

The film director said: "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."
