A lot of people complain that Christmas is really a pagan holiday that’s been refitted for Christianity but, for me, that’s a feature not a bug.
For me, the birth of Christ — the incarnation of God’s Logos — the moment when the God we can’t see became visible and the God we can’t understand made Himself known — is like a spiritual atom bomb going off in history. After the blast, there’s all sorts of immediate effects: healing, miracles, the resurrection, crazy behavior like believers sitting on poles and handling snakes and speaking in tongues.
