Psalm 39:4 “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is.” God intended for us to live and never die.  He is still making that happen but He has declared the consequences of our sin is death.  However, He has also declared everlasting life for those who are faithful to Him.  Christmas is that celebration where our Savior comes so we have that life everlasting.  This life is so very short.  Enjoy it, but use it to prepare for the wonderful life to come.
