The Star: A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long, long ages ago. The shining hope of mankind.
The Color Red: The first color of Christmas symbolizing the Savior's sacrifice for all.
The Fir Tree: Evergreen--The second color of Christmas represents everlasting life. The needles point heavenward.
The Bell: Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold--signifying that all are precious in the eyes of the Lord.
The Candle: A mirror of starlight reflecting our thanks for the Star of Bethlehem. A reminder that Christ is the Light of the World.
The Gift Bow: Tied as should be all tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.
Candy Cane: The shepherd's crook used to bring lambs back into the fold. A reminder that we are all our brother's keeper.
The Wreath: A symbol of the never ending, eternal nature of love-- having no beginning and no end.
Just thought this was an interesting take on the true meaning behind Christmas. Hope everyone has a Very Merry Christmas.
