Letter: Real meaning
What would it think of it? Maybe a homage to a great human, a party to celebrate all his great deeds. But when it realises the figure that represents this Great Human is nothing but a cheap rubber Santa Claus, an omnipresent icon that kids and adults praise, then it would think we're crazy.
The spirit of Christmas means that God turned into a man and shared His existence with us, never being a stranger to our feelings or suffering. Since Jesus stepped on earth, nothing has been the same. He conquered death and sin and gave a new meaning to suffering. For us, to be sons and daughters of God must be a goal and a sacrifice to reach, only this way we'll understand what we are and where we going, towards Him, road, truth and life and yet for so many a stranger.
