Cross Christmas Tree Ornaments

Stacey Doyle
Cross Christmas tree decorations remind us of the reason for the season for Christians. Cross Christmas tree ornaments turn a pine tree into a reminder of Jesus' love and sacrifice for all of us.

Years ago, I decorated my Christmas tree with popcorn, garland and red velvet bows. I liked an old-fashioned Christmas tree and there were no cross Christmas tree decorations. Even my small Christmas tree in my "single pad" was decorated this way.

After becoming a mom, I liked Hallmark Christmas tree ornament such as Disney characters. I even purchased a small Disney Christmas tree for upstairs. There were no cross Christmas tree decorations on this tree either.

One year we attended a holiday fair in the community where I grew up. It was great fun and I got to see a lot of my old friends. The generousity was astounding and everyone received a gift bag, including adults. My gift bag contained a beautifully crocheted cross Christmas tree ornament.

After hanging my first cross Christmas tree ornament, I was hooked (pun intended). I decided to find more cross Christmas tree ornaments including ones made from wood and shiny beads. This year the children and I will make cross Christmas tree ornaments from foam, construction paper and glitter...with a touch of personal creativity!

Do you hang cross Christmas tree ornaments? With endless images of Santa Claus, reindeer and elves, it is a pleasure to see a representation of Jesus on the Christmas tree. Why not make a few cross Christmas tree ornaments yourself? Next year, I would like to make a few cross Christmas tree ornaments from the palm given on Palm Sunday.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

Matthew 28:5
