This song is about taking a risk in a relationship, because it's Christmas. This isn't a theme I generally connect with Christmas and yet it is also a prominent one in a favorite Holiday movie of mine, Love Actually. God sending his son, coming himself as fully God, fully Man was His way of going for broke. The biggest risk/non-risk of all time. Is Kelly Clarkson talking about the Messiah being wrapped in red? No she isn't. Never the less, God did wrap himself in our sin. We celebrate this time of year, as we remember how His earthly mom and dad knocked on doors, going for broke, and found no rooms until they finally set Baby Jesus in a lowly manger.
