One of the things that strikes me is how sickly sweet the portrayal of the birth of Christ is. It's a big leap to go from meek and mild, carol lyric passive to a God who is relevant and engaging at the point of everyday reality - good times and bad times. Given that the Christmas story is about incarnation, God moving into our reality it's annoying that our descriptions of Christmas almost suggest there's not much to say.
