While Christmas is a celebration of God becoming incarnate through the birth of Jesus Christ, theologians consider God's first act of incarnation to be the birth of the cosmos, inspiring some religious communities to incorporate a cosmic dimension to their seasonal reflections and celebrations. 

Soul Seeing: No one spoke of the Baby Jesus who would come on the night of the Nativity to bring gifts for the children. His place had been taken by an old man, dressed in red, carrying a sack of gifts parents had bought.

Faith Seeking Understanding: This Christmas may we recognize the cosmic significance of the Word becoming flesh, humbly recalling our place as fellow members of God's family of creation and working to respect, preserve, and protect our creaturely sisters and brothers in Christ.
