Christmas Decorating Ideas Great Christmas Gift Ideas The Nativity Story Nothing says Christmas like the word giving. This is a story about decorating and collecting for an angel Christmas decoration and I'm sure it will warm your heart this holiday season. |
Angel Christmas DecorationGet the Holiday Spirit when You Use an Angel Christmas DecorationIt's time to set aside the hustle and bustle of shopping, making lists and checking them twice and listen to a real story of a holiday to get you in the spirit of things. There is more to an Angel Christmas decoration than just a plastic doodad to hang on the artificial tree you bought in a hurry.
The holiday tale Have you ever noticed how some people seem to touch your life in a very special way? They are the people that from the first time you meet them you know that you have just made a friend. I was blessed with this kind of relationship with one of my dearest friends.
A gift from the heart She is very giving and caring. It is no great surprise that one of her hobbies is making and also collecting angels. The first year I knew her she gave me an angel Christmas decoration that she had made.
It was made with wooden beads and buttons and had a very sweet cherub face. She had made several of the beautiful decorations for a craft sale fund raiser we had at church. It was helping at this fund raiser that I found out that she collects angels.
As I was helping set out the donated craft items for display I mentioned to another church member that my friend had given me an angel Christmas decoration. This other women mentioned that my friend makes a different ornament of this type each year.
A craft to cherish These ornaments are usually the first things sold at the craft sale because several people in our parish collect them. The craft sale went very well. We made money that is used for various parish functions throughout the year. My friend donates two full days for running this bake and craft sale.
Angel decorations made of crystal A few days after the craft sale I went Christmas shopping. I came upon a kiosk that was selling crystal ornaments. They had a beautiful angel Christmas decoration.
The angel was clear with gold edging along the wings and halo. She was holding a candle. The flame of the candle was also edged in gold. The crystal sparkled and refracted what ever color was near it.
I decided that I would buy the angel Christmas decoration for my friend from church. It would be a nice thank you gift for the amount of time she donated to our fund raiser.
The worker at the kiosk wrapped the ornament beautifully in gold gift wrap and embellished it with sparkly ribbon that had starts on it. The name of the shop was gifts from heaven, which I thought was very fitting for this wonderful friend of mine.
I stopped at her house on my way home from shopping to give her the angel Christmas decoration so she could put it on her tree for the season. She cried as she opened it and put the cherished ornament on a display hook among her angel collection. I left her house feel warm and happy about the gift I had presented her.
Just remember, the holidays are about Christian kindness and the giving part helps us to show love toward one another as we were commissioned to do. You can do this with any thought out gift but an angel Christmas decoration just seems to be appropriate for the season. I love them, how about you?
