Time for the tree to be cleared of all its treasures.
The red symbolic of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden; the white the salvation of Christ.
Take the star off of the top. Tomorrow we celebrate the wise men reaching the baby. They followed a star.
Place the Angels back in a secure spot. And think about the Angel’s Hymn
Put the stockings in a box. But never forget the example of St Nicholas and his concern for the well being of others. And if you have a plate for cookies think about St Lucia and the traditions associated with this woman’s saint day.
Place the nativity scene in its container wrapping each piece in tissue. The shepherds who were in the fields watching over the lambs that would become the passover sacrifice. These shepherds who were the ones to hear the Angels announce the Messiah was born. Carefully put away the wise men from the East who followed a star to find the King. The stable where the Inn Keeper put the expectant family when there was no room for them anywhere else. And the manger where animals had once ate, but that night so long ago the King of Kings and Lord of Lords was placed in as a baby.
