Symbols of Christmas

And Santa whispered, "Teach the children the true meaning of Christmas…"
-The Star: A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long, long ago- The shining hope of mankind.
-The Color Red: The first color of Christmas, symbolizing that Savior's sacrifice for all.
-The Fir Tree: Evergreen- the second color of Christmas shows everlasting light and life. The needles point up to heaven.
-The Bell: Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in His eyes.
-The Candle: A mirror of starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.
-The Gift Bow: Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.
-The Candy Cane: Represents the shape of the shepherd's crook, used to bring lost lambs back to the fold.
-The Wreath: A symbol of the never ending eternal value of love… having no end.

What a great story, true or not. A great reminder of why we have Christmas. I liked it a lot.
