Dear Reader:
Never had this quote, a favorite of mine, ever been truer, than yesterday. Both Mandy and Tommy stopped by and I had such wonderful conversations with both of them -Mandy then adding more Christmas magic to my new home, by putting more Christmas ribbons on a closet door in my comfy living room to start holding more Christmas cards to come!
Later… after they left I felt the same Christmas spirit I did as a child. When you think about it…. every ornament, on a Christmas tree, is symbolic of a part of The Christmas story, including the whole Christmas Tree itself!
The tree’s branches are viewed as an emblem of immortality and are said to be, also, symbolic of the Crown of Thorns on the cross.
We could go on and on… but over the years the selection of ornaments we take for granted today were added with a symbolism attached to the Christmas Story
Even decorative Christmas balls are symbolic…
So until tomorrow … Take time this year to really think of the ornaments you select for your tree… certainly select some crazy fun ornaments to laugh at…but also take some time this Christmas to explain the Holy symbolism too. Believe me… it will stick in the memories of those young excited faces gathered together around you.
