Christmas; The birthday of Christ?

Don't get me wrong. It is No news that the birth of Jesus Christ is been celebrated as Christmas on a conventional date which is not necessarily accurate.
25th December has always been a day of global significance where people celebrate massively though not everyone seem to know the reason for the season. However I Have a concern. This day is accepted as a day set aside to celebrate The birth of Someone who is believed to have saved mankind from eternal condemnation-giving His life in the process. But our mode of celebration does not seem to correlate with this supposed reason: may be it's because the celebrant is not physically present. Nevertheless this is a birthday celebration and as I've always known, it involves the presentation of gifts to the celebrant isn't it?  Have you ever gotten to a birthday ceremony With a gift pack only to open it and begin utilizing it's content on yourself?  But we seem to do something similar. Have you ever given the celebrant a gift?
Have you ever thought of the fact that He saved you from eternal damnation by giving His life in your place? (Well if you don't believe that in the first place, I have No issues with you.)
Most will respond thus "but we don't see Him". Well He answered "
...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Mathew 25:34-40

Touch someone specially this season-That's all He is asking.
As for me I'd do one more-I'd  devote my life to knowing Him and the reason for which He
saved my life.
I believe you would do Same.
Merry Christmas in advance!
