Holiday Gifts???

Ok, so I really don't understand why people are expected to give eachother presents on Christmas. Christmas is supposed to be in honor of the birth of Jesus (basically a birthday party). I think I would be pretty mad if people gave everyone else presents on my birthday and came up with some silly fat man to iconify instead of myself. It would be worse if I was someone important! Maybe we should rename Chrismas to something more fitting like Present Day. Then Jewish people could have Present Days instead of Hanukkah because in reality, who gives eachother presents to celebrate one days worth of oil burning for 8 days instead? It might make more sense if people gave eachother oil for 8 days during Hanukkah. So anyway, give someone gifts on their birthday, not for Christmas (unless you know of a way to give Jesus gifts). The important part of the holidays is the part where families and friends get together to enjoy being together, not to give gifts....
