The History of Christmas - Part II
Christ’s Birth Announced to Mary
Then Mary said to the angel,
“How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
And the angel answered and said to her,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God."
Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Then Mary said,
“Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.-Luke 1:34-38 (NKJV)

As a Catholic I've often been ridiculed for our honoring of Mary. Yet, for me, she is a great example of putting God's will above our own. Were it not for her faith, would may not be celebrating the birth of our savior.
There's nothing wrong with honoring Mary. Some have a hard time realizing she was like us, a sinner who needed Jesus.
