Another side of me says that the kids were complete idiots. Talking back to the parents and double daring him to sell it on eBay... that was stupid.

But out of all this, you shouldn't take away christmas from children who are fighting with each other... it is natural behavior and they are young. This may in fact scar the children for life...

Scar them for life? I think the 15 year old can take it. The youngest two maybe, but the oldest one will most likely not be that fazed by it.
