This is an excellent question.
From what I've read, oftentimes when a man marries, his wife carries on her own traditions from her family of origin. The traditions the man treasured as a boy are overlooked by her--not intentionally, but as an oversight.
Also, Christmas involves things like religious/spiritual faith, community, hospitality, and arts and crafts--things that American men generally don't value.
For more on this, find a copy of the book Unplug the Christmas Machine and read the chapter "Men: the Christmas Stagehands".

Well I'm one of those guys who does enjoy everything about Christmas. However I've noticed friends and family members who dislike Christmas for the following reasons.
They hate putting up the lights outside. Especially when they have a large house to decorate.
They hate shopping and trying to find that perfect gift. Of course, getting that perfect gift is that much harder when they wait until the last few days before Christmas.
They hate noisy gatherings and having to rush from one party to another instead of staying home and relaxing.

I dunno...but maybe in the case of a man who's wife stays at home with the kids, maybe it just seems like an over spending of the money he's earned. Or maybe in that situation, it's like someone using your money to buy you gifts, maybe it just makes it less special.
Other then that, some men just don't like to go shopping and whatnot.

They're probably stressed about what to get their wife/girlfriend. They don't want to seem stupid because they got a lame present.
