The thing that ties these two parts together is the great expectation that surrounds both of these important events.
The Christmas story is in essence a story of realized expectation.
Along with expectation also comes preparation.
This idea of preparing for the coming of Christ is not just an idea tied to His first coming but also one which is tied to His second coming.
