I had a very special friend give me one of these last year. I love it and it is a very special part of our Christmas and Decorating our tree..
I want to offer this as a giveaway to one of my readers. It is simple..
Certain to become a tree-trimming tradition, this 8" steel nail with red ribbon hanger serves as a moving reminder that the first Christ-tree was a cross. Includes the story of the Christmas nail. Gift boxed.
Each year it is the first item to hang on the tree - before any other ornament. It hangs close to the center of the tree where no one else can see it. It is a reminder to each of us as a family member that we celebrate not only the birth of Christ, but also remember that He lived a perfect life and died on a cross made from a tree to pay the price for our sins. Therefore, we can also celebrate the fact that He was resurrected and lives! Because it hangs close to the center, it also reminds us that Jesus is to be the center of our lives as well.
Following is the story of the Christmas Nail:
This is the Christmas Nail. It is to be hung on a sturdy branch, a branch near the trunk, a branch that will hold such a spike without being noticed by well-wishers dropping by to admire one's tinseled tree. The nail is know only to the home that hangs it. Understood only by the heart that knows its significance. It is hung with the thought:
The Christmas tree but foreshadows the Christ tree which only He could decorate for us, with nails such as this.

Oh that is the best ornament I have ever seen. I would love to be able to put a blessing on my tree. A reminder of the real reason for the season.
Oh, what a great thing to give away, Amy! I've seen those in our Christian bookstore numerous times. Let's see...I have a very close family member who is young and has been struggling with alcoholism for quite some time. We all have prayed for him to get his life on the right track...and God has answered our prayers! He's been sober now for over 70 days and is holding down a steady job and taking care of his family! Praise be!
