The Best Christmas Tree Ever . . .
For a lot of people the holidays are a time of strife (all that running around, the demands of gifts) or depression (no running around, no one to get gifts for) and sometimes the holidays are just an inspiration, no matter who you are.
I had a moment like that, this year. It was Christmas Eve and I was out for some last minute supplies . . . and there it was: the best Christmas tree ever.
Let’s take a side moment now before you say ‘but I’m Jewish!’ or ‘I don’t have a tree, I celebrate Kwanzaa’. Let’s be honest, none of that really matters. A lot of non-Christians have trees for the holiday. The tree doesn’t belong to Jesus or . . . well, if Jesus and the Christians had been in charge there wouldn’t be a tree. The tree doesn’t say ‘birth of our savior’ it says ‘pagan fertility ritual’.
The glass balls are representative of eggs – a universal symbol of making babies. It’s a pine tree, because they are alive in the middle of the snowy season. And there’s an angel on top because Santa was in a bad mood when the angel said “I have this tree, where do you want me to put it?” and Santa said “You can stick it up your-“ . . . well, you get it.
