Merry Christmas. As Christmas 2007 has arrived, so concludes my little week-long "Countdown to Christmas" series. Here's a re-cap:

Part 1: What if...

Part 2: The Most Dangerous Baby Ever Born

Part 3: Top 10 Christmas Quotes

Part 4: The Christmas Manifesto

Part 5: When we say "God Became Flesh at Christmas," ...

Part 6: Christmas, Easter, and The Usual Suspects

So now we're left with the last post in the series. I thought long and hard about what that post should be. And it occurred to me that, as people start to think about going back to work, taking down their Christmas lights, recycling their Christmas trees, we should really look at the big question, the big "So What" of it all. What does Christmas, the birth of Jesus, who would go on to do some pretty interesting things, mean for us living 2,000 years later. How is this baby relevant to the 21st century western world.

The answer, as always, has been given by one far more able to give such a huge answer than I. Take a listen and, again, Merry Christmas:
