It all ties back into humility, which isn't a strictly christian virtue, but does have a christian take.

Basically, the faithful should be humble in the knowledge that redemption is a gift that wasn't earned. Good works are an outward extension of God's grace. So when arrogant christians call undue attention to how pious and charitable and holier-than-thou they are, it's a sin because the person either genuinely believes that they are more deserving of redemption than anyone else or because they don't have faith that they are truly redeemed and are looking for validation from other people. Either way, it belittles the gift of God's grace.

So, the bragging doesn't turn a good deed into a bad one, but it's symptomatic of something not right with your personal faith.
