The Christmas spirit is all about caring and
sharing with your loved ones. And what best way to express these
emotions than gifts. Christmas, in many ways is the season to give
gifts to the loved ones. And the tradition traces back to the birth
of Christ. According to the legends, the magi from the East came
along with gifts to see and get blessing from the newborn king.
These three men bring gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts for baby
Jesus. The gift of gold symbolizes Jesus as the King of kings.
Frankincense is also a unique gift. Similar to the frankincense,
myrrh is a burial ointment and it has cleansing qualities. The gifts
the magi brought to Jesus foretold about God's plan. They symbolize
faith, hope and love all in the name of God the Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. The gifts of today too, wrapped with flashy colored
papers, bring along with them love and wishes from friends and
family. Some of the common gifts of the season are porcelain items,
brass menagerie, dolls and toys, jewelries, shoe pieces and
chocolates, cookies, food items, clothes and many more gifts of
personal choice. It is not necessary that your gift have to
expensive than only it is good. It can be hand made and less
expensive also but it is important that your gifts should be close
to your heart and it should convey the emotions and feelings
straight from your soul. It is the emotion, which is important.
