Festive Wishes and Christmas Gift Ideas with ChristmasPrezzy.com - Xmas Presents for friends and family

Christingle : An act of giving, rather than receiving, is that of the Cristingle service that many churches hold in the days before Christmas. Children come to the service and present their gifts of toys, which will then be distributed amongst children in hospitals or in needy families. Each child would receive, in return, a 'Cristingle', which would be a decorated orange with a candle. The orange symbolises the world, and the candle the light of Faith. The orange is also decorated with a red ribbon and sweets.
