Actually have done a lot of research on this of late, and it's interesting - the history of Advent.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

Hi Cow Poke,
Thanks for starting this thread. I appreciate how it got me thinking more about the season.
On a deeper level, I appreciate how important having God incarnate as a man really is. Yes, God gave His Son to the world. Its a more intimate gift. Having Him in the world, having Him incarnate opens up a more the possibility of a more personal relationship with God. Before the Incarnation, there is this distance between God and man that could never be bridged. Certainly, man could not reach up to God. God came down and dwelt with us. We should never lose the wonder and gratitude for this. This year, I really appreciate how Advent & Christmas moved the restoration so far along to, of course, complete in the Crucifixion event.
Christmas is not about gifts. Christmas is about relationship. First between man and God and then when that relationship is restored, between men.
Merry Christmas, everyone! ✝"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
"Theology can be an intellectual entertainment." Metropolitan Anthony Bloom
