This cocoon-shaped (or baby Jesus shaped?) asteroid, which has been dubbed "the Christmas Eve asteroid," will not crash into our planet today, reports ABC News:

"The 3,600-foot-long asteroid 2003 SD220 will fly by Earth tonight at a safe distance of 6.8 million miles, NASA said in a statement on Wednesday."

SD220 isn't the only asteroid to visit us on a holiday this year. On Halloween, 2015 TB145 buzzed by our little blue orb without reducing us and everything we've ever known or done to nothingness.

Much love to the folks at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Near-Earth Objects Office, who are spending their holiday assuring people on Twitter that we are not, in fact, going to die in a massive asteroid strike, one that would burn everyone alive. No reason, then, to remind you that big asteroids hit the earth once every 10,000—100,000 years, as this video explains:

"As the dinosaurs can tell you, it only takes one."

Thanks, Jesus, for not destroying us with a mummified asteroid version of yourself, yet!
