On Shmini Atzeres, Hashem says to the Jews make me a small meal to spend time with you. The Binah Leitim explains that when there is a big meal, people are busy with the food and practically there is no communication and comradery, friendship shown to each other. However, by a small meal, people find time to communicate with each other which generates friendship and love. For the goyim we sacrifice many oxen, so kavayachel, Hashem is busy consuming their korban rather than spending time with them. It gets diminished each day as the more I get, the less I like it and the goyim sacrificing it. However, we the Jews sacrifice a small korban because Hashem wants to spend time with us to show his friendship and love.
