Christians are often concerned at Christmastime with “keeping Christ in Christmas.” But maybe we should spend a bit more time thinking about which “Christ” it is we’re “keeping.”

It was that instant in time when the Creator took the human nature of the creature upon himself forever.
God becoming one of us is the power behind the Christmas story.
