Christmas Gifts - Index
The spirit of giving has been a part of Christmas since its beginning.
Here we look at Christmas gift giving, including Christmas cards. Lots
of Christmas gift ideas, including homemade Christmas gifts.
Christmas Gifts
The tradition of winter gift giving began long before Christianity gave new meaning to the custom. In Rome, rich men would give generously to their poorer neighbors during
their winter solstice
festivities.
Giftmas
Giftmas is a term used (often sarcastically) to
distinguish between the secular American holiday celebrated yearly on 25
December and the traditional Christian holiday of Christmas
that falls on the same day.
Christmas Cards
A Christmas card is a greeting card that is decorated in
a manner that celebrates Christmas. Christmas cards are exchanged during the Christmas season (around December
25) by many people (including non-Christians) in Western culture.
Christmas Decorations
Northern European homes were traditionally decorated for Christmas with
evergreen boughs, and garlands, vines and wreaths made from a variety of
evergreens such as holly, ivy and mistletoe.
Christmas Tree
One of the most popular traditions associated with the celebration of Christmas,
the Christmas tree is normally an evergreen coniferous tree
that is brought in the house or used in the open and is decorated with lights
and colourful ornaments during the days preceding and immediately following
Christmas.
Christmas Lights
Christmas lights (also sometimes called fairy
lights or twinkle lights) are strands of electric
lights used to decorate homes and Christmas
trees during the holiday
season. Christmas lights come in a dazzling array of configurations and
colors.
Nativity Scenes
The Nativity refers to the birth of Jesus Christ. Remembering or re-creating the Nativity is one of the central ways
Christians celebrate Christmas. A nativity scene, also called a crib or crèche
(meaning "crib" or "manger" in French) generally refers
to any depiction of the birth or birthplace of Jesus.
