I've been thinking along those lines too Deborah that the Lord of Creation became a baby and slept in the most humble of cradles - a manger where the animals usually ate.

Also that Christmas in itself is only part of that eternal story. He was the beginning and the end. We need nothing more.

Down from His glory,
Ever living story,
My God and Savior came,
And Jesus was His name.
Born in a manger,
To His own a stranger,
A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.
O how I love Him! How I adore Him!
My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!
The great Creator became my Savior,
And all God’s fulness dwelleth in Him.

What condescension,
Bringing us redemption;
That in the dead of night,
Not one faint hope in sight,
God, gracious, tender,
Laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.
3
Without reluctance,
Flesh and blood His substance
He took the form of man,
Revealed the hidden plan.
O glorious myst’ry,
Sacrifice of Calv’ry,
And now I know Thou art the great “I AM.”

The Creator became a creature.
The Eternal One entered space and time.
Almighty God became a newborn baby.

Wonderful words to meditate on His wonders! Won't find any other "god" who does this for his people...Our God is so very opposite of the false gods. HE loves US...other "gods" require but do not reciprocate or seek us out, like ours does...the True God, the Only God...wow.

GOD did not become Jesus.
Jesus is not GOD.
That belief is from Satan's old Babel and newer Babylon.
Calling GOD jesus is a lie.
You need to read the Bible but your eyes are dimmed and ears are blocked.

I don't "call God Jesus." I believe that Jesus is God. That's something totally different. God is more than just Jesus (He's the Father and the Holy Spirit as well)
