A Christmas Tree With Meaning

By
It doesn’t mean anything,” I thought as I looked at our artificial Christmas tree. Sure, my children had crafted beautiful decorations and loved to rearrange the ornaments. However, the tree itself seemed so distant from Christmas. Its lights sparkled and the tinsel hung over the boughs, but it didn’t hold any significant meaning. There wasn’t
