Presents!!

The world has seemed to forget the true meaning of christmas...The only way they remember it is by the presents!  Presents actually came from the story of the nativity, baby jesus' birth.  The three wise men or kings came to worship the baby jesus and brought presents/gifts for Jesus.  frankincense, and myrrh. They offered him gold, as a king,
paying him tribute(taxes to upper class); frankincense, for being God, for they honored
God with the smoke of incense; and myrrh, as a man that
should die, for myrrh was used in embalming dead bodies. 

"The Wise Men went to the house. There they saw the child with his
mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they
opened their treasures. They gave him gold, incense and myrrh." - Matthew 2:11
