Christmas festivities and traditions can be traced back to the story of nativity. It is celebrated as the birth of Christ Jesus in Bethlehem. Over the years, various Christmas traditions have accumulated and evolved. Back then, it was just a simple yuletide log, then the beautifully adorned Christmas tree, followed by the snowmen and winding up to the present day’s icicle lights.
Why Christmas Means Giving?
The gift giving tradition during Christmas is meant to remind people back to the time when the Magi’s journeyed to Bethlehem to present gifts to Christ, as an infant. Although many people still celebrate a gift giving tradition during the Magi’s arrival or Three King’s Day, the practice was steered way back to the secularized holiday, Christmas Day. Gift giving ultimately became the center of Christmas’ tradition in the 18th century when stores popularized Santa Claus as the gift bearer and stores allowed until the eve of Christmas to allow the purchase of presents by last minute shoppers.
