Christmas special - what is a Christmas present? In this podcast, we explore the history and evolution of Christmas gift-giving traditions. Susan traces the origins of gift-exchange from ancient Roman Saturnalia to its development within Christian and medieval contexts, particularly influenced by figures like the Three Kings and St. Nicholas. The Victorian era marked a shift towards family-centered celebrations and commercialisation, with Santa Claus becoming a central figure. Today, Christmas gift-giving has become a significant economic driver, with global retail sales contributing billions annually, while maintaining its core meaning of fostering connections and celebrating community.
