there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.
Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son 18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f] because he will save his people from their sins.†22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuelâ€[g] (which means “God with usâ€). 24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

you mean the purpose of this day is NOT to get run over by some drugged-up, crazed KamaKazi piloting a Toyota mini-van full of “bargains”... in the Costco Parking Lot?!?
gee, what else could there be about today, then?

Reasons have areas of applicability.
At one time there wasn’t yet a Christmas, though late enough in that time, there was a Hanukkah.
The sense in which Jesus is the reason for the season... is the same sense in which Jesus is the reason for everything.
Merry Jesus to all.
