If you want to get away from the commercial part of it - how about your volunteer with them at a hospital - or encourage them to go through their toys and donate them to a locate shelter or needy family.
Then when they receive the "commercialized christmas presents" they will be much more apprecitive for what the receive.
I know I try to do something for someone else each year. Be it a donation of a food basket to a food bank. Presents for sick kids in the hospital. This year I am doing a 10% discount on purchases for anyone who donates clothing, toys or maternity clothes to the neighbours upstairs in my building whom house a Pregnancy Crisis centre.
