Milton and Mayer argue Christmas is unique as a Christian gift festival. They cite Acts and scripture about giving and God’s gift of His Son, urging believers to give selflessly rather than expecting return to truly keep Christmas.
The text traces Christmas from early missionary efforts in 1601 4.D. to the influence of pagan festival blends, the Puritan ban in 1644, and the revival spurred by Dickens's 1843 Christmas Carol. It notes Twelfth Night tree burning as linked to the Nativity feast.
A reader urges focusing on giving over receiving this Christmas, arguing maturity and faith require sharing oneself. The note stresses living in the spirit of generosity rather than seeking token gifts.
