Christmas and Transcendence
During Christmas-time we mere mortals get a taste of transcendant. Having a season set aside each time of year makes it in some sense holy, which primarily means "other."
Each year we enter this set-apart time. In a way, we connect to all those Christmases of years past through annual traditions. And in that way, we can sense the transcendant if only for a brief season.
