Actually, Jesus had no beginning so He cannot have a birthday. The annual celebration of His Incarnation however is what we thank God for at Christ's Mass. When we do for one another, we do for Jesus. We give gifts to one another and it is giving to Jesus. The whole gift thing came from the feast of St. Nicholas on Dec. 6th. This is because St. Nicholas Bishop of Myra gave all his wealth away to those in need.

definitely despite if your intentions are good, it would nonetheless be risk-free to get her something else. it ought to no longer be completely touching directly to her faith yet something that should make her take exhilaration on your thoughtfulness. for my area, i do no longer think of getting her a Jesus bobble-head may be a good ask your self. Being a chum, i'm useful there are different issues she might somewhat appreciate or like (at the same time with examining aspects, wonderful stuff, accessory or outfits, something useful at residing house/paintings, etc.)
