Did you know. . . ?
The chopping down of the Christmas tree represents the death of Christ and putting it back up again represents the resurrection of Christ.
The Christmas wreath is a never ending circle that represents eternity.
The gifts represent the three gifts the wise men brought for Jesus.
So when you are running around trying to get the perfect gift, stop yourself, take a deep breath and remember we have already been given the Perfect Gift.....
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Joy to the World
I just love this post and I have missed you, Mary, smiles.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I have agreed to keep all gifts/giving (exception of son) to a $5 limit, it has been fun trying to find gifts for $5 and under.
I hope you have a beautiful and joyous day, friend.
