Holy God, we celebrate the birth of your Son with great joy.
He rescued us from the darkness of sin by making the tree of the cross the means of our salvation.
May the splendor of this tree remind us of the life-giving cross of Christ, that we may always rejoice in the new life that shines in our hearts. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Light the Christmas tree. Sing Christmas hymns and carols. Keep the feast. Christ is born!
