VIDEO: Mom cancels Christmas
One mom says no presents this year.

Santa Claus won't be visiting three young boys this year after their parents decided the trio didn't deserve presents.

John and Lisa Henderson say their boys - Caleb, Davis and Beckham - were constantly fighting and taking things for granted.

So, they told them that this year was going to be about giving and not receiving.

"How many times do parents threaten that if you're naughty there's going to be no Santa? Santa is not going to come? But I never hear any parents follow through on that," Lisa Henderson said.

Lisa wrote about her decision on her blog which received both praise and criticism.

She says the money they were going to spend on presents this year will go towards charity.

As far as the Henderson boys go, they say that next year, they will definitely be on Santa's nice list.
