God created the evergreens, and I don't mind reclaiming this symbol from heathens if need be. Tradtionally, the Christmas tree has a star on top. Stars at Christmastime represent the Star of Bethlehem which was a beacon of reckoning for the wise men to follow, in order to come worship the child Jesus. When I look at a Christmas Tree, I am reminded of the eternal life I will enjoy in the presence of Christ. Lights Christmas lights are another symbol that come from pagan origins, but were 'invented' by God.
Lights signify hope and safety.
They represent the fact that Jesus is the Light of the World. When I see Christmas lights on buildings and Christmas trees, and lit candles, I'm reminded of Jesus, the Light of the World. Nativity Scenes Nativity Scenes obviously come from the accounts in the Bible of the birth of Christ. Often 'the three wise men' are included, however they didn't appear on the scene until Jesus was somewhat older. I still enjoy their inclusion in Nativity scenes.
