One of the most beloved traditions of Christmas is the exchange of gifts. But have you ever wondered which country started this custom?

The tradition of exchanging Christmas gifts can be traced back to ancient Rome. During the festival of Saturnalia, which was held in December, people would exchange gifts as a symbol of good luck for the coming year. This tradition continued through the Middle Ages and eventually spread to other European countries.

However, it wasn't until the 19th century that the modern version of gift-giving at Christmas became popular. This can be credited to the influence of Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, who were known for their lavish Christmas celebrations. Their tradition of exchanging gifts with family and friends quickly caught on, and soon became a staple of Christmas celebrations around the world.

Today, the exchange of Christmas gifts is a cherished tradition in countries all over the world. From small trinkets to extravagant presents, the act of giving and receiving gifts is a way to show love and appreciation for those closest to us.
