this segment features a unique blend.
The tradition of celebrating the winter solstice with Yule logs,
can be traced to ancient times.
And, since early Christianity,
our ancestors would light candles during Church service.
NOTE: do more research.
Then, folks in Germany began decorating early versions of Christmas-Trees.
Many variations of this practice have led to speculation.
But, with absolute certainty:
There are direct written accounts of such traditions dating to the year 1521.
And, those trees were also lit with candles, as well as, decorations.
It's become a wonderful part of our holidays.
But, in the 1920's, candles were permanently replaced with electric-lights.
But, this segment hopes to capture that old Christmas Magic.......
Finally, Doves are a symbol of the Holy Spirit.
Plus, its meaning serves as a message of hope.
Maybe, this could've been the Star on the Christmas Tree.
Or, an undiscovered passage to Holiday Folklore.
(Move over, Rudolph!)
Essentially, our traditions could have transpired differently.
If Children use their imaginations,
just consider the possibilities.
Children could easily invent their own seasonal customs.
I wonder how such legends could become more interesting?
Here's a brief example:
When children create their own Christmas Decorations,
The end-result is a tree unlike any other.
......Using Popsicle sticks, and paper cuts, Popcorn strands,
and a homemade angel. Handcrafted by God's Children.
Perhaps, in the future, new wonders await your discovery.
....simply use your imagination....
