Yey. Wazzup guys? Time to blog again wee. Christmas is already done.Wow! that’s it? I want more Christmas Notice my new theme? A I just changed the page and sidebar’s background color. For me black looks good and it really does A. I just realized that the previous one looked so over designed and other colors doesn’t match well, so I came up with this result A. The only bad thing is, my smileys are hardly seen in my post but it’s ok What do you think? Which is more better the before of after ?
So I guess all of you had a wonderful Christmas same thing with me. Let’s talk about gifts.
I researched in google the history of gift-giving. According to articlesbase:
Giving gifts has been a tradition among human beings since ancient times. Many historians believe that this practice led to the development of the barter system, which was the economic basis for many societies. Land that was passed from one generation to another was considered a gift, as well as offerings made to various gods. The Romans and Greeks considered any beneficial occurrences were “gifts for the gods” while the leaders of different countries that were part of the Roman Empire sent “gifts” or “tributes” regularly to the emperor in Rome.
Many ancient peoples often exchanged gifts during different festival days throughout the year. The Romans exchanged gifts on New Year’s Day in celebration of the winter solstice. Some of these gifts included coins to represent prosperity, pastries to represent happiness, and lamps to provide light on one’s journey through life.
Oh, I didn’t knew that It started since ancient times. Past is really key to the present
