10 Fabulous Gifts for Husband this Christmas and the Joy of Giving Back (2018)

Christmas is one those festivals which have undergone a lot of changes in the recent times. From being a religious event, it has become all commercialized. Christmas is a day of love, fun, giving and worship. While gifts make the day more special and fun, it is also important that the element of giving and worship also needs to be revived. But how do you make Christmas special than being just on the gifts and food? Here are five ways you could make your Christmas day more fun and memorable.

If there is one thing that has completely gone out of the Christmas celebrations, that is caroling. You can revive this old tradition back in your family and go join Christmas carol groups or gather family at home and sing your favourite carols. Most churches have carol singing in the days leading up to Christmas. You can attend the carol services or participate in them yourselves. You don't have to be much of a singer to go caroling. If you have kids, this would be a great educational experience for them.

If there is one thing that is affected due to commercialization, it is the family time. This Christmas, take time out from social media and spend time with family. Instead of Instagramming your celebrations, take time to be with your family. Take out the board games and the cards and have a quality time together even if it's just the two of you. Only when you are together do you realise how much you enjoy being with each other.

Christmas also included visiting with friends and family and distributing sweets and cakes. This is the time to bury all your issues and give sweets and cakes that you have prepared or bought in lieu of Christmas. Take time out and visit someone who least expects you. It can be your grandparents or the teacher who influenced you so much in childhood. The joy and pleasure of your arrival will be evident on their faces.

Christmas is the time for joy and it is evident everywhere you go. Homes, malls and shops will be decorated with stars and twinkling lights. Town centres and squares if you live in a small town, or malls if you live in the city will be decorated with bright lights and huge Christmas trees will be in place. Let your inner child out and enjoy the lights on Christmas Eve. Take your kids along, and see them jumping in joy pointing out what they love the most.

The biggest disadvantage this generation faces, due to commercialization is the ignorance about Christmas. This Christmas, make it a point to learn what Christmas is about. Learn the story behind Christmas and also about the joy of giving. Teach your kids about Christmas and share how you celebrated Christmas in your childhood, that it is more than just shopping, gifts and delicious food. This can lead to your Christmas being more meaningful and contemplative rather than mindless fun.

While Christmas brings joy and happiness to everyone, it is not so for the less fortunate.
