God intrudes

Another favorite quote for Christmas meditation:
Despite our efforts to keep him out, God intrudes. The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities: a virgin's womb and an empty tomb. Jesus entered our world through a door marked "No Entrance" and left through a door marked "No Exit."
--Peter Larson, Prism (Jan/Feb 2001)
Also, for some out-of-the-ordinary, heart-moving meditations on Christmas, go to
http://www.desiringgod.org and click on the links in the topic index which will take you to John Piper's Advent Poems. He writes one every year as a gift to his congregation, and they are very thought provoking. Not to be missed!
