Read all the way to the bottom for an Amazing Christmas Video!!!

As adults, while we need to share the real reason for the
season with children, maybe the reason we share is so that in amongst all the
planning and decorating and shopping, we remember the real reason for the
season too. Here is short explanation of our Christmas Traditions:
Christmas Tree: The first Christmas Tree was decorated in
the year 1500 by Martin Luther. While there is a longer history to decorating
trees, Luther decorated the first tree in honor of Christ’s Birth. Over the
next few hundred years, decorating a tree become popular within the Germanic
countries, and later spread to the rest of the world. As the tree is cut down
and erected again, the tree has come to symbolize the Christ’s resurrection.
(Don’t worry-if you don’t have a live tree in your home-the symbolization is
still present).
Candy Cane: The candy cane is purposefully shaped like a
shepherds staff to symbolize Jesus coming as a shepherd of people. The red
signifies Christ’s suffering while the white signifies Christ’s purity. This
year, I for one want to make CandyCane’s out of sugar cookie dough, using food
coloring.
Gifts: The idea of giving gifts came from the Three Wise
Men. The Three Wise Men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to honor
the Messiah, Jesus. Our greatest gift of course is Jesus Christ-he is the
reason we celebrate and the reason we give gifts to one another.
