The symbol of Christ in mistletoe.Collins notes, “The name implies that the plant sprang to life from bird droppings on tree branches. The inspiration behind the plant’s christening, though true, might seem a bit crude and distasteful today, but to the people of the first and second century it was

To contemplate all Heaven’s power<P>
Which sent to earth our Heavenly King<P>

                    There are a lot of symbols at the Christmas season.  All represent something.  Santa Claus, mistletoe, wreaths, candles, etc.   I’ve always admired the beauty of poinsettias, and decided to do a little research on them.  You may know that they were named after Joel Poinsett, who happened to be the

                    Christmas Must Be Near
When soft snowflakes fill childish dreams,
And Missy hangs the mistletoe.
Then gift shoppers show up in streams,
And Mike the mailman is bending low.
When the generosities astound,
Then through the air, we hear the sound
Of joy-bells ring…
“Ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling!”
