*LET US START WITH

- KINDER-
CANDYCANES-
Shaped like a shepherd’s staff, the minty confection represents the
shepherds who searched for Jesus on the night that He was born. Another
meaning behind the hooked shape of the candy is that Jesus called
Himself “the Good Shepherd” and His disciples were His flock of devoted
followers, AKA the sheep.

GRADE 1 AND II
 WREATH –
A circle with no beginning or no end, a wreath symbolizes the strength of
Jesus Christ’s love for all. The popular Christmastime door decoration also
reminds us of the circle of life, love and rebirth, and Christians believe that a
wreath represents the crown of thorns worn by Jesus as He hung on the cross
as well.

GRADE III
- CANDLES-
A lit candle during Christmastime also traditionally represents the Star of
Bethlehem, which guided the three kings to find the newborn baby Jesus.
Before electricity—or Christmas tree lights!—families would decorate the
branches of their Christmas trees with candles..

- SOCKS-
The legend behind why we hang stockings on the fireplace to be filled
with goodies is believed to be the origin story of Santa Claus. Back in the
4th century, somewhere around what is modern-day Turkey, there was a poor
widower who couldn’t afford a dowry for his three daughters and thought of
selling them into servitude. A local bishop, St. Nicholas, was known for his
charity, but the father refused to accept any gifts from the monk. As the
legend goes, one night, Nicholas secretly tossed bags of gold into the man’s
house, and the pouches landed in the stockings that were hanging to dry over
the fireplace!

GRADE IV-
ANGELS-
There is a good reason why angels, like stars, are traditional Christmas tree
toppers, and that is because these messengers of God played prominent roles in
the Nativity of Jesus. Archangel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary, delivering the
message from God that she would bear His son. Another angel visited Joseph in a
dream to inform the carpenter that he should place his trust in Mary. And later in the
Christmas Story, three angels appeared in the sky over Bethlehem to announce the
birth of the Christ child.
STAR-
One of the holiday’s more religious symbols, the Christmas Star represents
the bright star that shone brightly over the town of Bethlehem on the night that
Jesus Christ was born. According to the Nativity Story—sometimes called The
Christmas Story—in the Gospel of Matthew, the Star of Bethlehem guided the three
kings (also known as the wise men or magi) to find baby Jesus in a stable. The
Christmas Star has also come to represent hope and peace.

GRADE V AND VI-

GIFTS-
 The men who brought their gifts to honor the birth of Jesus inspired the
concept of giving gifts during the holiday. According to the Christian Bible's New
Testament, Melchior, Balthazar, and Gaspar brought gifts of gold, incense, and
myrrh to the newborn baby Jesus.
SANTA CLAUS- LASTLY THE MOST IMPORTANT!

Who is THIS PERSON and why is he so special?

Everyone has heard of Santa Claus at least once in their life. Whether it was
on a popular movie, or seeing the guy in red in a mall, everyone has heard
of him. We know of the man, but where does he come from? What does he
symbolize?
Santa Claus comes from many legends: Father Christmas, Saint
Nicholas, etc. Saint Nicholas is the most well known history of Santa,
being a man that gave out generous gifts to the poor.

Sinterklaas (from Dutch culture) is the main look-a-like to Santa Claus, where
the popular Christmas figure got his looks. An older man, long white beard,
red robes. Often in the Netherlands, both Saint Nicholas Day and Christmas
are both celebrated.

In Yule traditions, the Wild Hunt took place on Christmas Night where
Wodan would fly through the sky and give out gifts to people. He was also an
older man with a long white beard.
