I don't think their's anything wrong with the punishment. Aside from the fact that the kids have completley dismissed the real meaning of Christmas and what it's all about, they also lied to their parents by telling them they would stop fighting. Then the next day the kids started fighting again. The father told them what the consequences of their behavior would lead too and the kids blew off his warning. I think it's very deserving. Although if I were the father, I would've just relocated the tree to my room so my wife and I could still celebrate. The parents shouldn't have to lose their celebration. I hope the kids' classmates all find out and tease them. The father deserves +rep for following through with his plan. Most parents aren't so bold.
