Cinnamonsun, like others I'm wondering why your parents agreed to host exchange students. I agree with Hope about calling the director of the exchange program to express concern.
Who mentioned making the holidays special for the students. Does their home culture celebrate Christmas? How about asking them to teach you about traditions in their country? After all, the purpose of an exchange program is to learn from each other.
You posted elsewhere about getting them gifts for the holidays, but need to keep it small. How about souvenirs from your area? Picture postcards are small and easy to transport. I see you live in New York. Do you live in/near New York City? How about taking them on a waking tour of the city? If you of they have a camera you can take pictures for memories. There's a ton of things to see in the city that don't cost a thing to go look at.
I think it is wonderful you are doing what you can for these students.
