The tradition of exchanging gifts at Christmas goes back many centuries ago and more specifically in Ancient Rome. And while so many years have gone by and so many things have changed in the world, the need to give gifts has remained the same. It is a good opportunity to get together with friends and family and show them with this nice gesture how much you care for them. And some people try and succeed in being funny and ironic about it.
