I see this as a boost in morale. When you're cutting back on everything, and you can't provide even your own kids with the things you would like, it's nice to save up for the few occasions, such as Halloween and Christmas where you and your kids can have a good time and feel like everyone else.
What would be wrong with cutting back on the heat, and other things to give your kids something special twice a year and how would that go to show why some people are poor?
