A home-made star and a butterfly from the Reject Shop

from w. A little girl in our household decided to put a butterfly on top of the Christmas tree and put the home-made star (from cardboard and foil) down a peg or two. Perhaps she did get the philosophy right - the cross and the cradle have no meaning alone. The star of Bethlehem and the butterfly as a symbol of death and resurrection. That's why my favourite Christmas song is 'Mary did you know'.
