Facts about Christmas and Decorating

Some countries in Europe select a log (called a Yule log) to be burned on the hearth for Christmas.  Another type of Yule log is a rolled chocolate cake.

Ever wonder why we use green, red, white, or gold to decorate during the winter holiday? Here are some interesting facts. The color green is used during Christmastime to remind us of spring. Gold and red are warm bright colors. Also in medieval times blue was a very expensive dye. In art, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is usually seen dressed in a blue robe. White is for purity.

The candy cane became a popular treat for Christmas. A lot of people would hang them on their Christmas trees. They are also used to tell the story of Jesus.

The first ones were not even canes at all. They were white sticks. Later, the candy makers bent the sticks into a cane. Soon, they also started to add the color red. They made three small red stripes and one larger stripe.

The colors of the candy cane told the story of Jesus. The white represented Jesus’ purity. The red is for the blood that He shed on the cross. The shape can be the letter “J” for Jesus or a shepherd’s staff. According to the Bible, shepherds visited the baby Jesus.

So, get some supplies in red, green, and gold. Then we can quickly create Christmas crafts for kids. Then our house and tree will no longer be bare. The gifts are all wrapped. Everyone will be surprised at the fun we had.
