December 18, 2023 (Blog #2 of Advent week #3)
The trend these last few years, in the selection of a tree is going in a different direction. Several decades ago when artificial trees were introduced with their glitter and tinsel, people adopted a substitue for the once meaninful tree displayed in our homes. And now instead of reaching for that dusty box in the attic, more Christmas tree lots are frequented with holiday cheer and excitement! 🎄 🎄
Oh Christmas tree, where have you been?
For your lovely boughs and
branches of green we have yearned
Your grace we have missed with
your pleasant light
The scent of pine with its silvery
fir
and shining candles in the night
Oh, what joy you bring of love and
hope
The star upon your crown pointing
towards the shepherd’s song, waiting
for the Promised One!
