Yes! Your post reminds me of this music that is very rarely performed. Many years ago the Oakland Girl's Choir performed it and it has been my antedote to the dumb saccharine Christmas music. I love how it frames the Nativity as a cosmic battle.
I resonate with: "I need the shock and reassurance of the incarnation." The juxtaposition of shock and reassurance sheds light on the reality of the impact of the incarnation.
I’ve come to think about and read your posts less as prose and more as poetry. Given your mechanism of communication, I imagine that you spend more time pondering your choice of words than others.
What I notice is that each word carries more weight and has more meaning than most other authors.
Either way, I enjoyed your words today as I always do.

Amen, amen, James. Love 'robust Christmas'. I have been celebrating the 12 days, and this reminds me to continue heartily until the end!
Thank you James!
