I know that the Christmas Tree is certainly not mentioned in scripture, and I know of the probable pagan beginnings of this Christmas tradition. Yet I also know that God can redeem and use anything for His glory, and I believe that He has done so for those who look at the Christmas Tree in the right way.
To me, the evergreen tree is a reminder of God's gift of everlasting life in His Son.
The lights on the tree remind me to always allow my light to shine before men.
The tinsel is reminiscent of the fact that we are only glorious when we reflect the true Glory of God.
And the star on top is a reminder of that wonderful night when God gave the true Light to this darkened world.
May the traditions you cherish at Christmas point you to Christ at every turn!
