The Tree in the Corner

I like the inadvertent symbolism of our Christmas tree this year. The lights go about two-thirds of the way up leaving the top of the tree dark. As we prepare through Advent to celebrate the birth of the Christ into our world, the lights will eventually reach a star at the pinnacle and will shed a light which will completely dispel the darkness. This is what Christmas means to me, and I pray that you might consider allowing it to have a similar meaning for you.
