My understanding is that in Holland, Christmas is not traditionally a day of gift-giving. That is reserved for 5 December, St. Nicholas' Eve.

Before the Reformation, this was true throughout Europe. The Protestants tried to move the gift-giving day to Christmas and get rid of Saint Nick in the process. They only succeeded half-way.
