History of Christmas Wrap.
Though most Christmas presents today are wrapped, this was not always the case. In the 19th century, gifts were placed under the tree, hung on its branches or placed in piles on the table. The children of the house would be kept out of the room in which the tree was being decorated on Christmas Eve and when allowed to enter they would see the tree and unadorned presents for the first time. In Scandinavia, gifts were thrown into the house after an anonymous person knocked at the door. It was not until late in the century that wrapping became common.
Why then wrap the gift? A very simple explanation is that some cultures set the tree up earlier than Christmas Eve and placed presents under the tree that had been sent from other family members. An unwrapped gift on Christmas morning meant Santa Claus had dropped it off in the night.
Hiding the gift also heightens the pleasure by prolonging the moment of revelation and perhaps disguising the contents. In many places, such as the Netherlands and Sweden, it is considered good fun to disguise a gift with deceptive wrapping or by placing it in an unlikely spot. In Victorian England, this trick was called a Yule Trap. Another reason for wrapping a gift in colorful paper is that it transforms a commercial, mass market product into a personal real.
Christmas Spider Story:
Proud of her Christmas tree, an elderly woman left to attend Christmas Eve Services. While away, a white spider spiraled the tree marveling at the decorations. Realizing he left his webbing all around the tree, he scurried away. Shortly afterwards, Santa arrived. Knowing the lady would be devastated by the spider’s unwelcome contribution; he added glitter to all the webbing on the tree and created a shimmering sight to behold. The woman returned to delight in the sparkling addition made to her tree. And thus “tinsel” was created. Select this link to view our Christmas Stocking Holders.

What is a Christmas Carol?
A carol is a song of joy celebrating the great Christmas festivals of Easter, Christmas and New Years. Carols are most often sung at Christmastime. The custom of singing carols has been popular in Europe since the middle Ages. It still forms a special feature of the Christmas season in many parts of the world. Bands of singers go about the streets for several nights before Christmas. They sing in the open air or visit hospitals and homes to cheer the sick and aged.
