They weren't giving presents to eachother.How do you know they didn't give gifts to each other? Regardless, the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas is rooted in the gifts the wise men brought to baby Jesus, probably because it was already a pagan tradition to give gifts in celebration of the solstice. Giving prsents on Christmas was basically invented (at least exploioted) in the early 1900's by American Retailers. No it wasn't. St. Nicholas was giving gifts in the fourth century C.E., and nearly the entire Christian world was giving presents by the tenth century. |
