Wow! Another Christmas is rolling in.And all the in-store decorations has me thinking about all the symbolism in the Christmas season. First the religious symbols of crosses, angels, stars, mother and baby, the animals in the barn looking over the baby in the manger, the three wise men bearing gifts.
These symbols represent the religious side of the Christmas story.
But what about the other symbols at Christmas time - Santa Claus, reindeer, elves, Christmas trees, bells?
New kids on the block come into a world that gets crazy at Christmas. From the cradle they learn that Christmas equals a glittering world of festivities and fun. And one thing about kids is they know how to get to the good stuff.
Remember your own childhood Christmases? All the goodies, the surprises and the , the toys, the annual joy?
To children Christmas still brings a wonderful time when their dreams can come gift wrapped. When they look on in wide-eyed wonder as people burst into community singing.
It's a time of magic and love.
And who wouldn't want to believe in that?
