Hello friends.

It's Christmas week. Hohoho. One of the aspects of Christmas that we like is the Christmas tree!

The Christmas tree is about being comfortable with who you are and how you feel, about being open to sharing your experiences with others. The Christmas tree is about the joy of connecting to others and doing so with a sense of humor and gratitude. In many families, when the Christmas tree is brought in it's a time when the family gathers around the tree and shares their joys from the past year. The Christmas tree is a time when family bond, when it's okay to argue, but when the arguments happen it turns into a silly discussion about what happened in a funny way. It's a time when you can say anything and people will still love you for who you are because they know you love them back.

The symbolism of the Christmas tree goes back a long way, to around the time of Rome and Egypt when the pyramids were being built. Some people believed that pine bows would even ward away evil spirits and witches in the Middle Ages. In more modern times, it's a tradition that is linked with family. You can read about the history of the Christmas tree HERE.

You pull out a box of ornaments you have collected throughout the years, then adorn the tree with these symbols of the past, remembering the times when you got them, joking and telling stories.

That all brings us to this Christmas week's Monday challenge. Let's have some fun with Christmas trees.

Today's challenge

Let's chop down a Christmas tree and toss some ornaments onto it.

There are 2 ways you can complete this holiday challenge.
