Spiritual Meaning of a Christmas Tree

In Christianity, Christmas tree is symbolic of birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tree’s branches and shrubs are viewed as an emblem of immortality and are said to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ on the cross. Also, every decoration used to adorn the Christmas tree is believed to have a special significance. And spiritually, our qualities are also said to be ornaments; for instance, peace, love, kindness, joy, goodness, Faithfulness, gentleness, etc. Though, people choose the ornaments for decorating as per their choice. The stated Christmas tree spiritual meaning is followed by all Christians, which is why they give utmost importance and work hard in decorating the Christmas tree. Decorating the tree gives the whole family a cherishable time and every year, all the members come together to adorn the tree with various ornaments and make wishes for a healthy and joyful life.

Commonly, people use a shining star as Christmas tree topper. But why? People are of the opinion that the star guided the wise men to Jesus Child in Bethlem. Angel is also used as tree toppers because it is said it was the angel who announced Christ’s birth.

The bells hanging at the side of the tree branches represent the joy and happiness of this day.
The candy cane-shaped, like shepherd’s crook, represents God’s shepherd.
The wreath is an epitome of true love.

The meaning of the Christmas tree is deeply rooted in our history, tradition, and culture. Musch more than for beauty and refreshing piney scent, Christmas tree is adored for its holy importance.

When my husband and I started creating unique and meaningful family traditions, it wasn’t because we’d heard that focusing our lives on experiences rather than things create more lasting happiness. However, the more we’ve incorporated little traditions – like a hug and kiss hello or goodby. When you first arrive, you can expect a big hug from me.

Good morning and good night – we always tell each other good morning or good night and tell each other we love them.

The kitchen – The kitchen was our family meeting place. We all discussed our day, helped with food prep, setting the table, doing dishes, and just came together as a family. We have made so many memories at our kitchen table over the years.

Making birthdays special – Everyone’s birthday happens on day a year so for that special day we get together for a lunch or dinner to celebrate their special day. I find myself watching my children make their own memories together and reliving the joy and love of my own memories through them.

October brings getting ready for hunting season – My husband and son, grandkids have hunted here at our place for the last 17 years. So many memories over the years of the boys hunting together and bonding.

Puzzles – I always set up a table starting around November and keep it through to the New Year. We enjoy putting together Christmas puzzles. This year James our son pulled a prank on me and gave we a puzzle of a pile of white puppies. Well, when I opened it up there was a picture of dogs pooping. LOL!!!!

Thanksgiving – brings our family and extended family together for the last 26 years at our place. the memories of all our loved ones coming together and remembering all the past gatherings bring joy to my heart

Christmas is the favorite time of year for me – I love all the lights and decorations that Christmas brings. We have 6 large trees and not sure how many little trees I set up every year. Oh, and I can’t forget the Christmas village that always has something new added to it each year. We gather on Christmas Day for our family Christmas. We have lots and lots of food, joy and love.
