How does a Christian do justice to the true meaning of Christmas Day?
(Of course one cannot do it true justice, but this is my humble attempt to give you a Christmas gift.)
Everyone does, and should, have their own taste in all forms of art (paintings, cuisine, and music - to name a few.)
For centuries, these two music masterpieces have served the task of giving meaning to Christmas for millions of people.
I suggest, if you have never heard them sung by a great choir, just give them a try,
"For Unto Us, a Child Is Born,"
from Handel's "Messiah" - Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Words taken from Isaiah 9: 6-7

The ''Hallelujah'' Chorus,

If they are not your taste, you can say to other literate folks who have open minds,
"I tried them, but it was not for me."

“Want to keep Christ in Christmas?
Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies,
and do unto others as you would have done unto you.”
