Some people believe the origins of the Christmas tree lie in a kind of mystical symbolism. In fact, a mixture of symbols showing us glimpses of what the creator has to offer.
Representing
light and the movement of angels, the gifts of orchard and field, forest, and
sea, all capped off by the star that pointed to the end of the journey, the
place of peace.
You
may well think what a load of contrived tosh or you may not.
Or
you may decide the truth of it is that the Christmas tree is as a result of the
merging or fusion of Christian and pagan festivals namely Christmas and the
winter solstice, saturnalia or Mithras.
