If you take their Christmas away, I can guarantee that when they are 90 years old, they will be telling their great-grandchildren about the time their dad took away Christmas. They probably won't even remember what it was about their behavior that provoked you to do it, but they will still feel the hurt.
As a parent who had my share of struggles with mine when she was a teen, I can appreciate your frustration and will not judge you. Please consider some of the good advice posted here. Resorting to such a drastic measure such as cancelling Christmas will only cause deep anger in your kids. And if their behavior doesn't improve -- then what? How then can you raise the stakes?
