Christmas is a time of illumination. The holiday season is rich in diverse belief systems. Thus the celebration of Christmas is for everyone should we choose to embrace it. In fact, the holiday is so widespread many global metropolitan cities present stunning light extravaganzas. Although many of us do not directly celebrate the Christmas holiday many of us in the United States recognize its meaning and tradition mainly from our youth. If you know Faith you know she believes the symbols of Christmas give hope, meaning and whimsy to children.
Santa Clause, reindeer, the North Pole, decorated presents, cakes and cookies, Frosty the Snowman. But perhaps the one thing that competes with Santa Clause is the Christmas tree. Whether the shimmer of the artificial or the chrisp intrusion of the pine's smell we all accept that trees are the transition from make believe to the wonderland and lights of the holidays.
