Agree;
Chirstian's celebrate advent leading up to Christmas--this much work/effort into preparation for a holiday shows significance
celebrates the birth of Jesus-- without the birth of Jesus our sins couldn't have been saved and our relationship with God would not have been fixed
Confirms the hypostatic union of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit--confirms how powerful God is and the extent of his love to come down fully human (Jesus) yet still be God. -- lack of ability of understanding show's significance of it.
