The Christmas Tree
An Ancient Symbol
Thousands or years ago, there were people who believed
that evergreen trees were magical. Even in winter, when all the
other trees and greenery were brown and bare, the evergreen
stayed strong and green. People saw the evergreen as a symbol of
life and as a sure sign that sunshine and spring would soon
return. Candles, or the electric lights we use to decorate our
trees today, are also an ancient symbol. They represent the
light of spring triumphing over the darkness of winter.
In ancient Rome, people decorated their homes and their
temples with greenery during a special December feast. It was a
happy time. No battles could be fought, the schools were closed,
and people everywhere joined in the carnival-like atmosphere and
gave each other presents.
The Modern Tree
So when did the Christmas tree go indoors? Legend has it
that the tradition was begun by Martin Luther in Germany. He was
a monk and church reformer who lived from 1483 to 1546.
According to the legend, Luther was returning home one wintry
night when he saw the stars twinkling in the sky through the
tree branches. Luther was amazed by the sight, and when he
arrived home, he was eager to tell his family about it. To help
them understand, he went to the woods and cut down a small fir
tree. Luther brought it indoors and decorated it with candles,
which represented the stars he had seen.
The custom spread in Germany, and from there all over
the world. In England, the Christmas tree first appeared when
Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, who was German. In 1841,
Albert set up a Christmas tree at Windsor Castle near London to
remind him of his homeland. The Christmas tree custom was
brought to North America by people from England as well as by
many German immigrants who came in the 1800's. Whatever its
origin, the Christmas tree is a beautiful symbol for everyone
who celebrates Christmas

I chose a snowman as my Christmas ornament for the tree. A
snowman is made up of many magical snowflakes, all unique, and
brings smiles to all those around.
He reminds me of our DD members who are all unique individuals
and very special.
To each of my friends I send the following Christmas wish...
[font=georgia]I wish for you...
comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,
Friendship to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Faith so you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
and love to complete your life.
[size=24pt]~[/size][/font]
Happy Holidays everyone!
*hugs*
