Because we're Capitalists.
You know, Christianity took many of it's traditions from Pagans, to convert people. I imagine it was a Pagan tradition to give gifts at Yule (the Wiccan celebration at Christmastime).

Its Jesus's birthday. We give gifts to people we care about in honor of that.

Its like, symbolizing the gifts the three Wisemen brought to Jesus when he was born. Just like the star [some] people put on top of the tree is like the North Star guiding them to Jesus. =]
