Traditions of holiday gift-giving in the United States have grown more complicated and more stressful. What to give? To whom? How much? When? There are questions of money and meaning, of different faiths and different cultures.
November and December include Christmas (Dec. 25), Ramadan's Eid al-Fitr (timed to the sighting of the new moon, around Nov. 25), Hanukkah (Dec. 19-27) and Kwanzaa (Dec. 26-Jan. 1), which all have distinct gift traditions.
Anthropologists, sociologists, ethicists, religion scholars, clergy and gift-givers of all kinds think about how gifts reflect the way Americans' values are changing and blending. Many criticize commercialization and call for honoring holidays' sacred origins. Some call for simplicity. Meanwhile, neighbors, friends, families and co-workers stress over how and what to give to the diversity of people in their lives.
Why it Matters
Gift-giving is a meaningful practice in all cultures and most religions. It is also the subject of new tensions and questions as a result of commercialism, economic pressures and America's increasing mix of faith and ethnic traditions. A growing movement against commercialism is changing how some families approach presents.
