The Lyrics
Now we all know about the 12 Days of Christmas. But, did you know there are also 12 Rules of Christmas? (It’s sort of a secular protocol.) Some of them are rather interesting especially when you think back to the very first Christmas. The tradition of gift giving at Christmas can be traced back to that very first one. However, in selecting their gifts, the Three Kings didn’t buy that year’s “hottest” items. They didn’t worry about saving the store receipt in case the gifts were wrong and had to be returned. And they certainly didn’t “shop ‘til they dropped.” They listened to God and brought gifts that represented what Jesus’ life would become. Then there is God’s Gift to us—Jesus. In making that Gift, God never once considered what is probably the #1 rule of secular Christmas. He never wondered if He was spending more on us than we would ever spend on Him.

I won’t spend more on you than you on me.

The tradition of gift-giving at Christmas is not as clear cut as all that. Gift-giving in the modern sense started in America in the 1820s. Christmas is a conglomeration of traditions just like Easter. Christians that think Christmas belongs to them is like saying America belongs to the European settlers, a belief which is disputed by many Native Americans.
You shoveled in a few more syllables than the OS, but your point is VERY well made! 455! On a side note, I would also like to thank you for having respect for Christianity (unlike SOME people on this site).
