Having a frugal, but merry Christmas is an opportunity for me and my family to be reminded of the true reason for the season. And how this meaning is found in the symbols of the holiday Santa: symbolizes the generosity of spirit we feel during the holidays The Christmas tree: the color of the tree remains green all year round, depicting the everlasting hope found in our faith. The needles pointing heavenward is a symbol of our thoughts turning toward heaven. The Candy Cane: represents the shepherds' crook. The crook on the staff helps to bring back strayed sheep to the flock. The candy cane is the symbol that we are our brother's keeper. The Angel: symbolizes peace on earth The Star: the sign that our Savior had been delivered unto the world A Gift: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
