8. Gift giving at Christmas Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, meaning "Christ's Mass") is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed most commonly on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is prepared for by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night; in some traditions, Christmastide includes an Octave. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many of the world's nations, is celebrated culturally by a large number of non-Christian people, and is an integral part of the holiday season, while some Christian groups reject the celebration. In several countries, celebrating Christmas Eve on December 24 has the main focus rather than December 25, with gift-giving and sharing a traditional meal with the family. Gift giving is a commonly practised tradition during Christmas. It is believed that giving gifts at Christmas is done to remember the Wise Men who presented gifts to the baby Jesus. The story of the Wise Men is found in Matthew 2 in the Bible. Jesus was born in Israel, and wise men from the east saw a star in the sky. They knew the star was pointing to Jesus, king of the Jews. They wanted to worship Jesus, so they followed the star to Bethlehem, where Jesus lived as a baby. As a way to worship him, they offered him their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Some people think Christmas itself is really about a big present that God gave the world about 2000 years ago - Jesus! One of the most famous Bible verses, John 3:16, says: “God loved the world so much, that he gave his one and only Son, so that whoever believes in him may not be lost but have eternal life.” It is most common for family members to give gifts to each other at Christmas. Parents give gifts to their children. Children usually give a small gift to their parents. Siblings give gifts to each other. Grandparents give gifts to their grandchildren. It is also common for friends to give gifts to each other. Many companies also give gifts to their employees at Christmas. Children, of course, love to receive toys as gifts. Most adults who receive gifts want something practical, something that they can use. Gifts can be bought at stores or online. Sometimes, the most meaningful gift is one that is homemade: a craft, a decoration, or food. All over the world, families and friends give presents to each other. Most children around the world believe in a Christmas gift bringer. It's often St. Nicholas, Santa Claus or Father Christmas, but in parts of Germany they believe that it is the Christkind, in Spain they believe it is the Wise Men and in parts of Italy they believe it is an old lady called Befana. 16.
