People all around the world are going to get ready for Christmas soon. One of the common questions a family will face is to put up a tree or not. I know for me, I have had a Christmas tree ever since I was a kid and I want my kids to have the same enjoyment as me, so it is obvious I am going to use a tree. Here are some of the reasons I love having a Christmas tree up in the middle of my house's entryway.
Symbolism is one thing I really like about the Christmas tree. When I put up the tree, I think more about the season of Christmas and what it really means. Yes, I know for a lot of stores and other people the Christmas tree means getting to have presents for everyone, but for me it reminds me each day that we are preparing for Jesus to come into our lives.
My kids start to behave better than what they normally would. Yes, it is evil and mean of me to say this, but my kids start to behave and listen better when the tree goes up. It is like they know Santa will be keeping a really close eye on them and this really helps me keep my sanity!
Christmas is by far one of my favorite times of the year. However, when it comes to putting up a Christmas tree I have to say definitely! I hear so many people debating this topic each year and have to wonder why would you not want to put up a tree and share this enjoyment with your family.
