How did the tradition of gift-giving every Christmas season start?
According to Kuya Kim's "24 Oras" report Thursday, it was inspired by the three kings who gave Jesus gifts when He was born in a manger in Bethlehem.
The "Monito, Monita," meanwhile, is just one way to make it more exciting for everyone. According to anthropologist Dr. Virgel Binghay, its main point is generosity. It was derived from St. Nicholas of Myra's gift-bearing helpers. It's called "Secret Santa" in the United States and in the United Kingdom. In Ireland, meanwhile, it's "Kris Kindle."
The most famous Secret Santa was American philanthropist Larry Dean Stewart, who gives gifts anonymously or without introduction. Have you prepared gifts with your loved ones yet? Kapuso, there are only three days before Christmas!
