@@KobeAmetiso true. What did the x-mas tree has to do with Jesus

@@SuperSar79- don’t worry bout it, just zip it!

[@uskingcrimson]

@@SuperSar79I don’t think the tree has anything to do with it, but the star 100% symbolizes the north star. Which is the same star the wise men followed to witness the birth of Jesus.
Also, the hymn being sang should be fairly obvious as to how it relates to Jesus Christ.
