December 25th is celebrated as Christmas Day all over the world, especially with English speaking nations. This day is celebrated to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the son of GOD. Cake, crackers and lights are the part of this festival. Another tradition associated with this festival is the tradition of gift-giving. Let us why we give gifts on Christmas and what can be given as gifts. Why to give gift on Christmas In some ways, giving gifts on Christmas is a very old tradition but some people argue it to be a new development relatively. Exchanging gifts on Christmas is a symbolic gesture to remember those gifts which were given to Jesus by the three wise men at the time of his birth. However, many people believe that exchanging gifts has nothing to do with Christmas. As soon as the Middle Age ended and the Modern Era began, the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas grew popular among people. Just as Jesus had been given gifts on that specific time on 25th December people too give gifts to others to symbolize the occasion. Moreover, gifts are a way to thank the other person and to show your love, care and concern for the people. What to gift Each gift when wrapped in love makes the best gift for the recipient and so is the gift you give on Christmas. However, it is always better to give practical and original gifts. Price does not matter, but how you present them; your sentiments attached with a gift make it special. When selecting gifts for family, it is advisable to choose something which is needed the most at that time. Remember that more than a ritual, a gift is given to show appreciation for another person. So ignore the commercial hype and be as simple as you can. Thus a Christmas gift can be fun, practical, original and challenging.
