“jingle” in it meant that I was supposed to spend a lot of my coin for 
Christmas. 

Now, Christmas was not about me, or was it? It was about me paying for
Christmas, and the recipients seem to be growing without stop. 

I had my parents and my siblings to buy Christmas presents. I had my
wife's parents and her siblings to buy Christmas presents. Then, I had 
my children to buy Christmas presents. 

Why, oh, why is it all about "me?" 

It took a while for me to come to the right conclusion that Christmas is
more than "jingle, jingle." I came to that conclusion when one 
Christmas we were celebrating at our home, and our children and 
grandchildren were all around the Christmas tree opening up presents. 

I sat back and just watched. Sure, I got a couple of Christmas presents.
But that wasn't what Christmas was for me. I saw my family around that 
tree and realized that that's what Christmas was all about. Family 
coming together and enjoying one another. 

The "jingle, jingle" was just the door that opens up the family
celebration. Thinking about it, I have concluded that all the "jingle, 
jingle" in the world is worth every moment around that tree. 

Then I thought about what the Bible said. "And so it was, that, while
they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be 
delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in 
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room 
for them in the inn" (Luke 2:6-7). 

Christmas is all about family. God's family comes into the family
through the Lord Jesus Christ.
