The First Christmas Tree

.



The



first


Christmas


Tree…


Stripped Of leaves – bare of branches
The Gift lay not under – but on that tree


The star


a cruel


crown


And


One


Light


hung


down


Red stripes dried


On that tree – the Gift died…


The First Gift given – for us, He is risen


Have a Merry Christmas and remember His presence is the greatest of presents.

  2. I attended a church one year that stripped its tree after Christmas and fashioned a cross from it. It stood at the front of the church through the Easter season. Was a most sobering reminder.
