Excellent comments, by the way. Just a clarification: Christ is one Divine Person (the Word), but with two natures: human and divine. That’s the Incarnation, and I agree that we do well to emphasize this (not that we shouldn’t celebrate Christmas to the full).

God bless!

Yes, that is what I was after with "fully human and divine Personhood," only much better. It's over 100 here, so I'm a little garbled!

In some countries, mainly in South and Central America, the Feast of the Annunciation is celebrated in recognition of all unborn human beings. Iirc, it's even written into law in a few nations, not just a Church-led celebration. I really think that Christians here should emphasize this as well, especially since so much nonsense has accreted onto the celebration of Christmas. Something to propose to my family and the Knights of Columbus at my parish!
