Christmas 2021: It is Christmas and we can smell the fragrance of the festive season in the air. Christmas is a time to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, who preached compassion and brotherhood to mankind. Such celebrations include meeting family and friends, distribution of food items and gifts. Below, we look at five traditional gift items for Christmas.
baked goods
It’s not Christmas without the aromas of cakes, pastries, fig puddings and cookies filling our olfactory senses. While many nowadays buy readymade confectionery during Christmas, nothing beats a homemade cake baked by our mothers and grandmothers. The touch of their love is that extra sauce that turns the meal like alchemy.
congratulation card
One of the simplest gift items, greeting cards are readily available at most local gift shops. There are so many heartwarming quotes and designs to choose from, printed on those cards. However, hand-painted Christmas cards are best and contain a painting and a short message.
winter clothing
Many mothers and grandmothers still knit sweaters for their children and grandchildren respectively. This is the perfect Christmas gift as the season progresses and it gets chilly outside; It is snowing in the countries near the poles. Nowadays most of the people shop for clothes online. Flannel shirts are great gift items, as are jackets with zippers and scarves.
blankets and mattresses
There are gifts that people want and there are gifts that people need. Blankets fall into the latter category. Many people across India and elsewhere live below the poverty line and suffer during the winter months. The same goes for many community animals. There is no better gift than a blanket and mattress for those who are exposed to the chilly elements during this period.
turtle doves
None of us can forget the beautiful friendship between the Pigeon Lady and Kevin McCallister in the 1992 film, Home Alone 2. The film features two ornamental turtle doves that each of the above characters maintain to remember the other. Turtle doves are symbols of innocence, purity and eternal love. This is because a real-life tortoise mates for a lifetime.
