Giving Gifts for Christmas

Question:

Why do Christians give gifts to each other on Christmas if it's Christ's birthday?

Answer:

The custom of gift giving on Christmas is part of the larger festivities of the season, with parties, singing, and feasting. Gift giving, while not in any way required, is a way of acknowledging God’s generosity to us in giving us his Son by giving generously of ourselves to others.
