The quality of a tree is seen in its fruits...but without the planting of a seed, they would be no tree and thus, no fruit... Christmas is the seed planting day...The day Jesus was born into the world, the start of the tree of life, a life free of sin and death and so, Christmas for me its a reminder of the gift of Salvation. The day Christ was born, the day The Word became flesh. The beginning of the end of the rule of sin. The physical expression of the Love of God to humanity.
What does Christmas mean to you?
To me, it means
Love. The genuine and most sincere love ever...The love that pushed God into becoming flesh, into physically expressing himself as Man...To me, its means restoration, redemption, reconciliation because that was the purpose for which Jesus was born, that was the purpose for which He also died..
What does Christmas mean to you?
Chicken? Rice? Party? New Clothes? The only time of the year you visit orphans? The only time of the year you buy gifts?
To me, Christmas means Love...The undiluted, unconditional love of God...and tomorrow that's what I would be celebrating.. The love of God.
Don't let this year's Christmas be just about the festivities (the eating and drinking and visiting friends and family), or just about the 'love' we get to show to orphans, less privileged ones and everyone around us...
Let this Christmas be reflective for you. Reflect on the unconditional love of God. Reflect on what the birth of Jesus did for you personally as an individual. Reflect on Love, the love you show others, the love you receive.
As you Enjoy yourself tomorrow, be grateful Christ was born to die for you.
Give gifts from your heart. Love like Jesus does.

I am very much in line with your perspective about Christmas. It's the period to celebrate "The word becoming flesh".
