why give gifts at christmas

Giving gifts at Christmas is a tradition that has its roots in the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. According to the Christian Bible, the Three Wise Men or Magi brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the baby Jesus, as a symbol of their faith and devotion. This act of giving gifts is believed to represent the spirit of generosity and love that Jesus taught his followers. Over time, this tradition of giving gifts has evolved into the modern practice of exchanging gifts during the Christmas season.
