Is it rude to tell your less fortunate friends to start saving up

Do it. And while you’re at it practice saying “let them eat cake” in a French accent as well

Yep. Had a relative suggest this to me once. "Why don't you save more money for Christmas all through the year, etc.." Because I end up donating all this crap that I don't need already!!!

It was not helpful, but we have given up on them. We just go overboard so can be part of their have all day "Xmas" Christmas present extravaganza that's killing the planet. It just makes me feel sick every year.
