Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts.

The line contrasts the material ritual of “opening presents” with the moral and emotional work of “opening our hearts.” It reframes Christmas as a season of generosity, compassion, and receptivity—being willing to give, forgive, include, and attend to others—rather than a consumer event measured by gifts received. The parallel phrasing (opening/opening) makes the ethical pivot memorable: the true “unwrapping” is inward, a softening of self-interest and a widening of care. In a broader sense, it echoes a common Christian-inflected theme that the holiday’s meaning lies in love and community, not acquisition.
