A few decades ago, Christmas was a festival celebrated mainly by followers of the Christian faith. It signifies the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem in modern-day Israel.
However, over the years, Christmas has become a universal festival, with people from all faiths observing December 25 as a holiday.
Religion apart, the period between Christmas and New Year is when people give gifts. We gift family members, business associates, and other loved or essential people.
Nowadays, a variety of gifts that suit every budget are available online. It is also possible to give gifts imported from foreign countries, thanks to a boom in e-retailers worldwide.
