Hung on a Tree

Many cherish heirloom Christmas tree ornaments; given by family and friends, they have great sentimental value.

Newlyweds begin their own Christmas traditions.

Years later, the teary-eyed wife hangs a tarnished ornament upon their tree. It brings back memories of their first Christmas together. Times were tough and there were few gift wrapped packages under the tree.

Her heart flutters as she lifts another decoration from an ornament box.

It’s one she purchased for their baby daughter’s first Christmas. Can we set a financial value to such keepsakes?

How much would you be willing to pay for a Christmas tree ornament?

We find inexpensive ornaments at dollar stores and a wide selection of price ranges at gift shops.

Maybe you have browsed aisles of Hallmark Stores or Cracker Barrel restaurants.

I’ve never stepped inside Tiffany’s. I wonder if they offer holiday ornaments. Just imagine; a wealthy shopper might find the perfect 24 carat gold tree topper.

We don’t need ornaments of gold to celebrate Christmas.

“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:7 KJV).”

JESUS, from babe of Bethlehem…to King of the Jews at Golgotha…

Crucified there on a cross, they hung Jesus on a tree.

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree (Galatians 3:13 KJV).”
