The spirit of Christmas is sentimental, like my ornaments, but the spirit of Christ is supernatural life, where it seems impossible.

And when Jesus enters the scene, not as this glorious shining king, he comes as a baby whose birth is so overlooked that he's born in a barn, a tender shoot. Isaiah says, this is Christmas, not this. Christmas is about having hope for the places where you feel stumped.
