Christmas Gift

Christmas, what it really means and existence. Everyone has their own beliefs or ways of celebrating it.Often things change from time to time. Maybe in other words generations after generations. I would say that is mostly with traditions. Christmas is supposed to have all these meanings but the question still remains. What is it about, where did it come from, how is it and was it celebrated. What does a tree have to do with anything? Why do people go house to house in the cold? Better yet, Who…

The holiday was originally a day of religious celebration for people with Christian beliefs, but Christmas has evolved over the years, and now many people celebrate even if they are not Christian, Although the Christmas sprit of generosity and cheeriness has not changed, many of the traditions of Christmas have changed drastically.

The Overdue Break for Everyone After reading “Less Stuff, More Heart: 5 Gifts On a New Dad’s Christmas List” by Christopher Zumski Finke, it got me thinking about what “giving gifts” really meant, and how much it has been seen as giving someone something super expensive to show how much you care about them, but gift giving isn’t about the price of the item, but the thought of the person giving. Gift giving and gift receiving is always a nice act. It can make others feel happy, and can make you…

called it as she saw it. “Look, Charlie, let’s face it,” she barked in “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” “We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It’s run by a big eastern syndicate, you know.” Christmas, an important and happy holiday, now used mostly to gain large amounts of money. Retail businesses make it readily apparent that Christmas has become too commercialized when stores start putting out Christmas decorations in October. Retailers are more concerned with ensuring that…

many authors wish they can get for Christmas. It can be something their reader knows, but one of their characters does not. This present can be a significant thing a character says in a story. The gift can also be a coincidence that the author plans. It is so ironic that many works of literature use the present. This fantastic present is irony.

of The Gift of Magi that’s how Jim and Della felt. They had almost no money, but that sacrificed their greatest and most valuable treasure. Jim sold his watch for hair combs while; Della sold her luscious hair for a watch fob as a Christmas present for Jim. I think it was fine that they spent that much money on one present for love. A reason it was fine spending that much money is because it was Christmas. Christmas is the season of giving, it comes once a year, and one expensive gift a year…

costs go to expenses like gifts for the kids and other loved ones, travel expenses to visit family, electricity on Christmas lights and other decorations that require electricity, and more. While Christmas is a great time to celebrate with your family and loved ones and show one another how much you appreciate them, the bills that follow Christmas can put a damper on those first few months of the year. That means the more money a person or household can save during Christmas the less they will…

worry about the gifts that we buy for others hoping that they will like them, or would they will return them, or even re-gift them. We have sent out our Christmas cards and then realize, when it is too late, that we have forgotten someone. You see, we live in a society that has become completely commercialized that puts stress on us to buy, buy, and buy. In the end, the true meaning of Christmas has almost disappeared.
