The Meaning of the Christmas Wreath

I had been looking for this poem but could not remember the authors name. Then I received a Christmas card in the mail from a friend and lo and behold,, there it was. It's one of my favorites and helps me to keep focused on the reason for the season. The authors name is Holley Gerth. Let me share it with you.

Every Christmas wreath is more than just a decoration...

it's a special reminder of Jesus, the reason for our celebration.

The circle of a Christmas wreath is an never-ending ring,

a reminder of eternal love from our Lord and King.

The Christmas wreath is a sign of welcome, inviting all to enter in...

a reminder of Christ's invitation for all to come to Him.

The middle of a Christmas wreath is a bare and empty space,

a reminder of what life would be without Christ's love and grace.

So each time you see a Christmas wreath hanging from a door,

may your heart rejoice in the One that Christmas is truly for!

Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
