Why is Christmas on December 25th, when it's not actually the historical birthday of Jesus? Because it expresses an important aspect of what the day means; the Christian story of Jesus Christ starts from despair. It begins from a deep sense that we are not where we should be and where we could have been, a sense of loss and being lost. In a year when Christmas has arrived during a global pandemic, political, social, and religious strife, with the news of tyranny and oppression, all of which have us wondering where we've gone wrong, we're actually a step closer to the original setting to which the story of hope that Christmas represents.
