What continues to be the most extraordinary thing about Christianity to me is what we celebrate this day. God, the creator of all things, chose to confirm His Kingdom, not from on high, separate and dictating, but by bringing Himself to us, born in a barn to a teenage girl... God almighty, measured in pounds and ounces, having to have His head supported while being held, needing to be nursed, changed, protected.
Yes, it is true, my thoughts are influenced by western Christian culture and thinking, yet every time I hold a small child, I think of baby Jesus, vulnerable and tiny, born to average parents. This is what floors me, that God has experienced this as I have.
Merry Christmas and many blessings to you.
