Did you know that the candy cane was fashioned to represent the shape of the staff of the Shepherd? That the evergreen is the official tree for the Christmas Holiday representing everlasting life? The wreath represents unending life?
So many symbols that we take for granted and do not know the history of.
That is why I love the concept of Kwanzaa. Each Nguzo Saba has an everyday meaning which is applicable in every day life. Christmas feeds the spiritual and religious aspect of our being. Kwanzaa helps me to focus on the practical pathways necessary to achieve balance and spiritual fulfilment.
The Silver Bells I refer to are the bells of harmony, and good faith for experience the best of this holiday season. Blessed it be to all.
