We added more lights to our Christmas display. The back yard of our home was too dark just like the Earth before Christ’s birth. A nurtured 12 foot Holly tree that was properly shaped by our landscapers was perfect for some new bright LED lights representing Christ’s Salvation.
Time began with the birth of Jesus Christ. God Almighty makes himself small and comes to His children vulnerable in the form of an infant to fully understand what it is to be human and understand our sinful ways. The lights of Christmas are the joyful bearers of the “Good News Of Christ’s Salvation.” Welcoming Jesus into our homes and our hearts, full of hope and joy, prepares us to properly celebrate Jesus’ birth through His Church and anticipate His return.
Every single aspect of Christmas’ old and new, from Santas to Nativities, to Christmas season meals and every Christmas light reminds me of the gift of Christ’s Salvation and opportunity for eternal life . . . Let my 2010 pictorial celebration of God’s Salvation through His Son Jesus Christ begin on this third Sunday of Advent.

A star would serve the holly tree well.

If I could find an outdoor star, I would put it up. I’ve searched high and low for one.

Why buy one? Make one. Buy! Buy! Buy! is not keeping with the spirit of Christmas.

Danita, I don’t have the time to build a star for the Holly Tree in my back yard, but I found one at the local Big Lots store . . . so I bought! bought! bought! one for ten bucks.
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog, I’ll get the star up tomorrow and see if it meets with your approval once I get time to post the photo.
