Whether you admit it or not, people's love for Christmas Jumper (毛衣) around Christmas has increased over recent years. And while you may be less willing to get involved in the Christmas jumper trend, Christmas Jumper Day now enables you to do more with your jumper than build up sweat in an incredibly warm office.

    The origin of the Christmas jumper can date back to the late 19^th century in the USA. Americans in the 1930s knitted(编织)for Christmas to create an item of clothing to keep them "warm" during the Great Depression when people led a poor and miserable life. They copied the jumpers they saw their favorite stars wearing on the big screen. From the 1950s, it was common to see American families wearing festive jumpers as they sat down to eat their Christmas dinner.

    Now, alongside wearing a festive jumper for the fun of it, there are other positive outcomes. Christmas Jumper Day has been set up to stimulate people to make the world better and raise funds for Save the Children by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of ￡1. Ladbrokes, a company in the UK, is running a competition in which all you have to do is to take a selfie (自拍) outside of one of their shops while wearing a jumper — the winner will win a good prize and for every submission Ladbrokes will donate￡5 to St. Luke's Hospice charity. For you, it's a win-win situation.

    If you're still unconvinced that it's about time you bought yourself a Christmas jumper, then maybe the fact that Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg have all been spotted wearing Christmas jumpers will raise your enthusiasm. Retailer (零售商) such as Topshop, Burberry and H&M have also become devoted to Christmas Jumper Day and have their very own types of Christmas jumpers.

    Many books have been written about "the art of giving". And we also know that it's hard to give people a gift, 1 a personal one. If we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give the gift to and their likes and 2.

    As is often the case, some little kids think they don't get enough gifts 3some old people think they get too many gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too 4. For example, when a little child just gives his or her mother a leaf from a tree, it is enough to make her very 5.

    Gift giving is different in different 6. Here are some of their likes. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone 7, because many people have enough things and don't want 8 gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember a 9. In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. In Sweden, doing something for someone is the best gift. People don't need to 10 too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.

    To make things 11, some people would rather just give money. In some cultures, however, 12 money can make people uncomfortable. "When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they're being lazy," says John Wilson. "In England, we have a saying: It's the thought that 13. When someone gives me money, I feel they don't think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 14 has some thought behind it."

    Different people have very different thoughts 15 this subject! So maybe the art of giving is difficult! What do you think?
