In the hard-pressed world of today when Time is premium, we always try to find an occasion to celebrate. What better excuse is there than to celebrate the birth of a baby? Celebrations mean feasting and gifts. Giving gifts is a tradition among all cultures.
Origins:
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem the Magic came from the East bringing with them gifts of gold and precious fragrances. Many cultures nurse the tradition of giving presents to mark the arrival of a new born. One of the names given to celebrations marking the event is Baby Shower. A party is held and the parents are given presents by the guests. The term ‘shower’ indicates that Mum is literally showered with gifts as a reward for all that she has endured these months to gift the world with a new member. During the Victorian Age the gifts were put inside a parasol. When it was opened the gifts showered down. Originally only women were invited to share the art of motherhood. The human babe at the dawn of time was the weakest among all creation – the infant was not as powerful as it is today. Not only was the gestation period long but also it took many years for a child to reach adulthood unlike other creatures. Hence there was a compelling necessity for women to club together in rearing the child. Human lives were very precious in those days. Today shower parties are held. Friends and relations from both genders are invited. Guests come armed with gifts that may include blankets, diapers, feeding bottles, toys etc. The Western custom is to open the gifts during the celebrations so that everyone gets to see these. One popular decoration is to arrange the diapers to look like a tiered cake.
