Hilary Kolodziej- Christmas Gifts

For the holidays, family is especially important. Sometimes the amount of pressure to see everyone you care about and give them a gift can be overwhelming. As I wrap up my Christmas shopping, I began thinking about primal cultures and the contrast between us and them. Our culture places an emphasis on the biggest and most expensive gifts, but in primal cultures- are the gifts of the same importance? Probably not. I would think that gift giving in primal religions would focus much more on the relationship between the people and the practicality of the gift, not the price on the tag and the glamour of it.
