Christmas Trinkets

Christmas Eve and I just thought I just have to write my one last journal before December is over.  Seeing all the Christmas trinkets during this holiday season is a real candy to my eyes. For me, they bring me back to my childhood. They make me remember that I was once a Santa-fan child, a believer of "there's a gift inside your Christmas socks". And make me accept that it's my son's turn now to wait for Santa and believe in the spirit of Christmas. Carry on,  read on and learn a little from me as I share you the meaning of different Christmas trinkets.

Snow Flakes - I always dream of a white Christmas. That's why I soooo love snowflakes. White colors in Christmas simply represents the purity it has in color. Simply pure heart that Our Savior ask from us mankind.

The Candy Cane - remember the "Bethlehem" statues neatly placed by your mom beside the Christmas tree...? Then look at the shepherd's crook, which is used to bring lost lambs back to the fold. Now you know, this candy cane are not just for sweet tooth but to remind us that Jesus our Savior is calling us back to the fold!

The Candle - reflects light. The 3 Kings on the way to finding the Bethlehem follow the light coming from the star above. That's why during this Christmas Holiday we always lit a candle on the dinner table, on the front door or lawn, or besides the Christmas tree to mirror a starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem. 

The Star, Color Red, Reindeer and Christmas Tree - all are very symbolic and obviously represents each scenario happened on the day of Nativity. The Star is a sign that the prophecy was fulfilled and symbol of hope for mankind. That's why on top of our Christmas tree the star is the star of trinkets. Red color is as always a symbol of LOVE.  And the Christmas Tree or Fir Tree before is the symbol of Evergreen - green is a symbol of HOPE. And of LIFE. It's like the fresh breath if air from a new born child. 

And Santa said: "Teach the children the true meaning of Christmas..."
