Gifting on the Occasion of the New Year

Question
What is the ruling on a mother gifting her children presents on the occasion of the New Year?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: If the celebration of the New Year is not related to a religious matter in their country, and it is not a symbol for non-Muslims, and it has become a customary occasion with no religious connection, then exchanging gifts and other practices in it is permissible, and God knows best.
