I think Hebrews 2:14 perfectly states what Christmas is about.

Because God's children are human beings-made of flesh and blood-Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death...it was necessary for Jesus to be in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. He then could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. Since he himself has gone through suffering and temptation, he is able to help us when we are being tempted.

"The Crown Prince of the Ages" may be my favorite Christmas carol. Fyi.

Long ago, as tiny infant came to earth
our blessed Lord, poor, and laid within a manger,
by the shepherds first adored.
While on earth He healed the sufferer,
showed the meek the path to heaven,
Then on Calvary gave His life blood
that our sins might be forgiven.
And we love our blessed Savior;
soon to earth He'll come to reign,
For He's gone to heaven before us,
but He said, "I'll come again."

See! The Eastern dawn is breaking;
earthly night will soon be o'er.
There are signs now of His coming,
He is almost at the door--
Not a humble Jewish infant to be spurned
and thrust aside, but the King, the Crown Prince
glorious, to receive a glorious bride.
He is coming, surely coming;
those who for His presence yearn,
Robed and ready to receive Him
thus shall hasten His return.

Now with hope, the gospel heeding,
let us watch and ever be
Ready for the Bridegroom's coming
when with joy His face we'll see.
Christmas angels, spread the message
that the meek and lowly One,
Now the Crown Prince of the Ages,
comes in clouds to take us home.
We are watching, waiting, longing,
struggling from earth's fetters free;
Come, Lord Jesus! Oh, come quickly:
here are hearts that long for Thee.
