Christmas Holiday Decorations
There is a long history of displaying special Christmas decorations. One of the first accounts of this dates back to the 15th century. In London there was a custom that every house and all the parish churches were to be decorated with various greenery. It was said that the heart-shaped leaves of ivy symbolized Jesus coming to earth. Holly provided protection against witches and its thorns and red berries represented the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus at the crucifixion.
Nativity scenes date back as far as the 10th-century in Rome. Saint Francis of Assisi brought more attention to them and the tradition quickly spread. There are multiple variations of nativity scenes. Ranging from simple representations of the crib to more elaborate scenes designed to feature the manger and historical buildings in Poland. Some feature hand painted terracotta figurines called santons. These are from southern France.
Christmas decorations are traditionally red, green and gold. Each color has a symbolic meaning. For example red symbolizes the blood of Jesus that was shed by him during crucifixion. Green symbolizes eternal life. The evergreen tree does not lose its leaves in the winter. The first color associated with Christmas is gold. One of the three gifts of the Magi was gold and symbolizes royalty.

Hanukkah
This year the eight -day festival of Hanukkah begins at sunset on Sunday, December 22 when the first candle is lit on the Chanukiah (menorah). The Hebrew calendar is based on the lunar cycle therefore the dates of Jewish holidays , according to the Gregorian calendar, change from year to year. Due to the changing dates, Hanukkah ranges from early November to late December.
There are volumes of data regarding the history and traditions associated with Hanukkah. In short, Hanukkah commemorates the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. This re-dedication was possible due to a group of Jewish warriors that defeated the Greek armies that were occupying the Temple. The festival of Hanukkah celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and of spirituality over materiality.
Penny’s by Plaza Flowers has beautiful flowers for Hanukkah.
