In an article called “The Senses of Christmas,” the theologian and author Mike Aquilina expresses the simple but revolutionary truth of the Nativity beautifully: “God lived in a family the way we do. He shivered against the cold the way we do. The Word-made-flesh nursed at His mother’s breast like any other human baby. Suddenly, God was not a watchmaker, some remote mechanic who wound up the world and let it go. God was a baby, crying to be picked up.”

The above is one of many news articles I collect every year to show what most of the world is really celebrating, the Incarnation of "God the Son."

How, as some of the early Church Fathers put it, "the One Only-begotten God, ineffably born of God, entered the Virgin's womb. The Holy Ghost, descending from above, hallowed the Virgin's womb [and] mingled Himself with the fleshly nature of man…” Hilary of Poitiers, On the Trinity, 2.25-26

I hope this shocks all self-professed Christians.
