I think giving gifts can convey your love to your families and strengthen your relationship between family members. Whats more, giving gifts can show you put emphasis on the sense of ceremony. I choose to support this idea. Because it provides a good chance for the businesses to promote their products. Although the public spend more money on gifts, the relationship between family members is strengthened by giving gifts. The spirit of festivals is sharing joy, gradtitude, love or peace. It should not be measured by money or gifts.Post - readingThinking Which festival do you think is the most important and what do you think is the most important reasons for you to celebrate it?
