A couple of the gospels spend some time speaking of the circumstances around the birth of our Lord... which was announced to shepherds in fields by angels, who told the shepherds that this news was good tidings of great joy for all people. The world may not understand how precious, wonderful, and glorious His incarnation was, or that Jesus temporarily gave up His place in the Godhead to save us from our sins by willingly dying for us due to His great and everlasting love for us, but not knowing the exact day of this momentous event should not stop us from celebrating with family and friends as they share their gifts of life and love, which come from God.

He became poor so that we might be rich beyond belief in that through believing in Him, we are able to be the children of God! Given all the miracles He performed, none were for Him. They were for the benefit of others.
He left the Glory of Heaven, took upon Himself the form of man, and chose to die on the cross so that His precious blood would pay the cost for our sins!
If that is not worth celebrating; what is?

Can I get an AMEN!
If someone can't in faith celebrate Christmas then they should refrain. But Christmas does afford a great opportunity for evangelism. Christian Christmas music is full of doctrine. I dare someone to listen to Come Thou Long Expected Jesus and not want to share Him with someone else.

I agree that Christmas is a wonderful time to speak of Jesus to the unbelieving world .
And it may be that while listening to a Christmas carol, the Holy Spirit of God moves someone to deeply contemplate
the meaning of Christmas, and becomes instrumental (no pun intended) in their personal journey-to-faith testimony.

Isaiah 9:6-7a Unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.

Also yes we’re all works in progress
in this process when we hear the gospel and believe
“Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;”
Philippians 2:12-15 KJV

These are my favorite Christmas verses. They summarize what Christmas should be all about - Jesus Christ.
As quoted by @Pilgrimshope :
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men.”
Luke 2:9-14 KJV
