I love symbols. They speak to our minds without us even knowing it. They remind us of ideas without saying a word. They are like parables; some times you get them, and sometimes you don't. When the kids were young we had a tradition of talking about the symbols of Christmas as we decorated the tree with them. These were tender moments for me...
Recently I sat alone and read the symbols of Christmas. As much as I always enjoyed the symbols before, this time was different; I got emotional. I'm not telling you that if you read them, you'll get emotional too. I've read them a million times before without getting emotional. But this one time... Wow! :) Seriously... with the right frame of mind, and a whole lot of contemplation... these symbols are amazing! Christmas with all it's many symbols of Jesus Christ and His teachings - is a beautiful blessing! :D

Thanks for sharing that! I've always loved reading about the symbols of Christmas as well, but haven't read them in a while. Thanks for reminding me!
