Very few understand the meaning of Christmas, and far fewer still, live its full meaning.
The child born in the manger, symbolises something internal; the whole of Jesus’ life carries this greater symbolic meaning.
So if you have never lived that symbolic drama in your own life, you will have no clue as to the real meaning of Christmas, no matter how much you may read or what you have been brought up to believe. 
But that is quite normal, as more or less everyone is in the same position, as the living Christ moves upon the earth, within the heart of the unknown.
No-one sees him, no-one understands him, he wanders rejected, unwanted from place to place, incomprehensible to the masses of people, seen as a wrong doer, who doesn’t fit into the narrow confines of people’s imaginations and attitudes.
The bodhisattva advanced on the path is no longer human, not yet divine. He wanders in between, unable to live with the human, unable to live with the divine, struggling to overcome what is left of the human animal within, finding no place on earth that he can call home, but longing for his spiritual home - rejected by humanity, yes, humanity has rejected the Christ.
Anyone who is on the path must realise that they are just one more creature upon the earth and without the divine they are nothing. Everything that is spiritual comes from the spiritual, it does not come from man.
