Christmas is now upon us, the cities have lit up with the most varied lights, trees have appeared in the houses and the search for gifts has officially begun. In recent years, however, we have all been overwhelmed by consumerism and have forgotten why we buy gifts for friends and relatives at Christmas. Who has never wondered why they had to pay homage to their loved ones with a present on the occasion of the holidays?
This is a very ancient tradition, dating back to the times of the ancient Romans who, during the celebrations in honor of Saturn (god of agriculture) from 17 to 24 December, exchanged Lares, i.e. statuettes depicting the deceased or some twigs of laurel and mistletoe.
Subsequently, with the advent of Christianity, the gifts were associated with the gold, incense and myrrh that the three Wise Men brought to Baby Jesus on the occasion of his birth, demonstrating that they recognized him as a king, a God it's a man.
It has become a popular tradition since the Middle Ages, when in various European countries many began to give small gifts to children so that they would associate the birth of Jesus with a moment of joy.
After the discovery of America, the first Dutch settlers also introduced the figure of Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus or Father Christmas, to the new world, the character who brings gifts to children who have behaved well. From that moment on, the custom of giving gifts was no longer associated with religion and everyone began to buy gifts for their loved ones for the most varied reasons. There are those who want to show their affection with a gift, those who want to celebrate the Christian holy day and those who, however, do it mechanically, without stopping to think about the reason for their gesture. It doesn't matter what the reason is: if you are out of ideas you can ask for help from Faxiflora who will explain and help you understand what they are Christmas flowers to buy to embellish the home or to send to those who are far away as a sign of a fragrant and welcome Christmas wish
