So, I’m averse to sentimentalization of all types, especially Christmas. I think what you get at here is why Christmas is truly good news, not just feel good. And these articulations of truly good news are so rare. It’s how one piece of the story of the incarnation can show how it changes everything

Yes. MBTI would address the how question. Enneagram would address the why question.
