Pascal's wager only works if there is a choice either of either one religion or one lack of religion. Since more than one religion exists, Pascal's wager is a false choice, a fallacy. If you observe Christmas and not Ramadan, you could be wrong, if you celebrate Ramadan and not Christmas, you could be wrong. You could celebrate both and be right, or be wrong. See? Many choices.
Anyway, a lack of gift giving is not necessarily suffering. Eating ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is fun, but it's certainly not necessary.
