I agree I have ask that question for year.The gifts were sopose top be for Christ it isn't anything but a time to spend more money ya don't have.I don't like it because what about people who are homeless and don't even have a place to put a tree forget the presents.nd what about the hungry?It's REDICULOUS why wait till Christmas to help people what about the rest of the year? Don't misunderstand I know the meaning of Christmas that is why I pray and say THANK YOU for being born.(JESUS)Whatever day it is?I have never lnown anyone to have a birthday changed so much...

It is a tradition that was initially started by St. Nicolas, who was giving out presents to children who has been good duirng Xmas. The St. Nicolas became Santa Claus (due to the phonetics similarity). And the Christmas trees was a old German tradition to have pine trees. And the Rien deers was made up by some other company (commercial purposes) All combined to gether we have Christmas (which should be truly celebrated for the birth of Christ). But I guess everyone has forgotten that.

It is a tradition to mark the gifts of the wisemen given to Christ,and because in giving we get a nice buzz.
