The birth of Jesus Christ. The fact that God took up our human condition, becoming, for our sake, one of us, and like us in everything except sin.
Have a blessed Christmas!

Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual holiday that marks the traditional birthdate of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas combines the celebration of Jesus' birth with various other traditions and customs, many of which were influenced by ancient winter festivals such as Yule[1] and Saturnalia. Christmas traditions include the display of Nativity scenes and Christmas trees, the exchange of gifts and cards, and the arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Popular Christmas themes include the promotion of goodwill, giving, compassion, and quality family time.

What we celebrate as Christmas was originally a pagan celebration of the winter solstice. The Catholic church tried to quell the festivities, but failed. Then someone in the Church had the brilliant idea of claiming that this was actually the date of Jesus' birth (when in truth, no one knows the exact date he was born.) A classic, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
