I think it is great that you see Christmas is deeper than "giving presents".
I get the feeling when I read your post that you are carring a lot of responsibility on yourself. It seems like you feel responsible to teach your younger sister different values and carring your parent's burden.
I am sorry your brother is not on the same page with you and that is a challenge with facing him. You can continue to be an example for him even though you can not change who he is.
