Cause you love me that much
I love Christmas. While I love it for all the right reasons - and I understand the true meaning of Christmas - I also love it for the wrong reasons. I LOVE presents. I love buying them, wrapping them, giving them, getting them, sharing them. Everything about them. I think that everyone in my family feels the same way. Every year on Christmas morning we all come downstairs to a rather large pile of presents and then spend multiple hours taking turns to unwrap them and share in the excitement of Christmas morning.
Unlike other holiday traditions, such as wearing green on St. Patrick's Day or eating turkey on Thanksgiving, which seem obligatory, gift giving on Christmas is exactly the opposite. It is so evident that we share in this family tradition because of the love there is. Regardless of any fights or arguments or whatever, everyone is happy on Christmas morning... and it's not because of the amount of money that was spent, but it's the love and the thought that went into the morning that makes it so special.
