Christmas Trees...The tree was an evergreen to
symbolize God's everlasting love. They used lights to
represent stars of the heavens, and a big star on top to
represent the one like the wise men followed to see Baby
Jesus.

Gifts...Giving a gift is an act of love like
God's love for us in sending Jesus. Each gift, as beautiful as we can make it, reminds us of the perfect gift,
Jesus Christ as our Savior.

 

Candles...To show how we are to be a light
unto the world just as Jesus is the light unto the world.

Bells...They are used to announce the birth
of the Savior and to call us to  worship Him.

The Wreath...The wreath's color
reminds us of the gracious gifts of God - a reminder of
the greatest gift in Jesus. The circle tells of God's
unending love for us as He offers us salvation.

Holly...Holly's thorn like leaves remind us of Jesus' crown of thorns. The berries symbolize the drops of blood.
