Decorating a Christmas tree is considered not just New Year’s fun, but also a very personal affair, always in touch with fashion and the desire to surprise. However, it is worth knowing that a decorated Christmas tree is not only a festive greeting that illuminates everyone with its joy, but also a message. Is it possible to “read” a Christmas tree, as, for example, they read skillfully and with meaning a bouquet of flowers, a letter or SMS containing hints, innuendo, wishes? It turns out, yes! Almost every Christmas tree toy has its own symbol.
In spite of everything, the Christmas and New Year tree should be green, which means, natural, alive – evergreen Christmas tree, fir, pine and by this they convey to us their optimism, the strength of growth and victory. In addition, they protect against evil spirits, which become especially powerful on cold, dark winter days.
Ale – a symbol of hope in misfortune, respect for the past.
Fir – this is a subtle perception of the world and a prophecy, as well as a symbol of friendship and communication, a long and healthy life; resilience in difficult times.
Pine – a symbol of the birth of the baby Christ, it gives us energy and helps us not to go astray.
There may be many stars on the tree, but just one, the one on the top of its head, has the main symbolic meaning. In Soviet times, it seemed like a Kremlin star. In fact, this is a copy of the one that illuminated the path of the Magi in biblical history.
A star is a pentagram in which four elements live: air, earth, fire and Spirit.
Christmas decorations in the shape of angels can be called new decorations for the New Year tree, since in Soviet times our life was diligently separated from the church. Angels, as beings of light, are a symbol of Christmas, our protection from evil forces.
The tradition of lighting candles on a Christmas tree is a thing of the past for an understandable reason: the tree could catch fire. They were replaced by garlands with light bulbs in the form of candles and glass Christmas tree decorations – candles. But on New Years and Christmas we always light candles. After all, candles are a symbol of light, the reborn sun, spiritual burning, the warmth of the spiritual presence of each person in this world. In addition, in the candles there is also a flame of bonfires, in which winter burns.
Whatever the garlands are made of, this beautiful Christmas tree decoration symbolizes the eternal circle of life.
The most unusual thing is that the cones are not devoid of symbolism: glass, powdered with shining frost, and natural, collected in a summer or autumn forest and lovingly turned into a Christmas tree toy. The bumps have been compared to the pineal gland of the brain, which is also responsible for psychic abilities. So a real or glass cone on the branches of a Christmas tree is both the place of the soul and the third eye.
In addition, pine cones are a symbol of wishing the birth of children, cleansing the house from negativity and disease, protecting the house from evil. They also have one more property: to maintain the joy of life. Our ancestors believed that cones predict the weather most accurately: they open up – it means there will be sun, close – to rain. And this is the symbolism of an accurate perception of reality, which every person must have in order to correctly assess the situation and make decisions.
The favorite adornment of many people is cute and sounding. The bell shape resembles a heavenly dome, and sounding on Christmas night helps to tune in to thoughts about the main and high. It is the bell that is the ancient symbol of protection from negativity and evil forces. In addition, the ringing of the bell invites good fairies to the feast. Today Santa Claus is ringing a bell, riding in his sleigh to announce the New Year and new good beginnings.
Increasingly, beautiful deer, as if made of ice, appear on the tree. These are the ones on which Santa Claus arrives, or rather, arrives. There are also antique cotton wool deer praising the North. Interestingly, deer are not just beautiful, they symbolize dignity, nobility and, quite surprisingly, intelligence and common sense. The Scandinavian tradition says that if there are deer on the tree, then a stork with a baby will definitely visit the house in the New Year.
Icicles, as harbingers of spring and thaws, with their various fantasy forms, make the tree a real beauty. At the same time, they have their own meaning – the magic of fertility lives in them, because after the melting of snow and ice, rains come, cleansing and nourishing the earth. In the old days, icicles were made from various materials in the amount of 12 pieces as a symbol of the 12 months of the year.
Glass Christmas tree decorations in the shape of an acorn are considered vintage because they were produced in the 60s and today they are quite rare. In the old days, acorns were used to decorate a Christmas tree so that strength and health always lived in the house. And of course they remind of oak groves, undoubtedly being a symbol of will, perseverance, immortality, fertility.
Amanita was used many centuries ago in secret magic rituals all over the world. Later, he was hung on a Christmas tree as a symbol of protection from evil spirits in the amount of three to seven toys.
The most popular and seemingly simple Christmas tree toy – a glass ball, it turns out, repels evil and protects from the evil eye. In addition, it enhances the beauty of the Christmas tree dress, as it reflects both the lights of the garlands and the glitter of other beautiful decorations.
Depending on the color of the Christmas tree balls, you can not only convey your mood, but also attract good luck. Red balls – this is the power of good over cruelty in the name of salvation, green – renewal of strength and health, silver and blue – harmony of the soul and new connections, yellow and orange – joy and travel.
Apples, oranges and tangerines
Fresh fruits or made of glass and cotton wool carry a deeper meaning than a rich harvest because they symbolize the sun. Fruit on the tree is a joyful holiday in the house, as our ancestors believed.
Gimp, tinsel and Christmas tree decorations, gold, silver, blue, red, white colors, without any doubt, are symbols of prosperity and prosperity. In addition, these very colors are very popular with the White Metal Rat, the mistress of the upcoming 2020.
The Christmas tree in the house should be decorated a week before New Year’s Eve. Although psychologists advise postponing this case until December 31. Well, or at least hang the most significant jewelry for you on the eve of the holiday, so as not to lose your mood. But it is advisable to purchase toys at least a month in advance, laying them out on the windows, as was done in the old days.
It also matters where the tree stands. Depending on your cherished desire, you need to choose a specific place in the apartment – then the wish will certainly come true.
