In the grand scheme of things, Christmas is kind of a lame ass holiday. It's not commemorating some great struggle, or forcing you to contemplate some deep fact about society or theology, it's just "oh its God's birthday, everyone say happy birthday god".
the original pagan festival that "christmas" supplanted was centered around the winter solstice, celebrating the triumph of light over darkness. Jesus is now the light.
Most Christians would say it was only to rid a small subset of humanity of it's inhumanity, giving them eternal bliss in heaven; while for the rest of humanity it means you get eternal torment. i.e. Jesus becoming human allows the opportunity to avoid eternal torment, not the actual giving of it. So kinda like how Americans have access to freedom, not real freedom.
The "peace on earth good will towards men" is pure marketing.
