The meaning of Christmas

I've been concerned lately about the relationship that my children have with God. I tried the other morning to initiate a conversation with my daughter, Kelsey, about her spiritual walk. The talk didn't go very far. But as I was driving her to school that morning something was said about Christmas. I asked her if she knew the true meaning of it. She said something that just hit me as very profound. She said that the true meaning was that God loves us. And I thought, wow, she's right.
Christmas is definitely about the birth of Jesus. But His birth is about the fact that God loves us.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
