Legends Tied to Gift Giving In Syrian Tales

Syrian legends link a Magic Mule and the Gentle Camel of Jesus to gift giving in Nativity lore. A traveler tied his mule to a tree at an inn on Epiphany Eve, midnight struck, and the tree’s boughs bowed revealing a hidden scene. The youngest camel of the Wise Men rests exhausted near the Nativity as immortality is mourned.

Covering Gifts With Patriotic Style Themed Ribbons

Suggestions for festive gift wrapping emphasize making the exterior as eye catching as the gift inside. Ideas include using fabric, rick rack, spools, buttons, yarn, and bold ribbons in dark blue wine or green, with decorative tape and tags to create a unique package.

A short decorating note suggests replacing a wreath with bells and ornaments on the door. It recommends stringing bells and tree motifs on ribbon from a large red bow and framing doors and windows with holly sprigs. Alpine money is mentioned.
