Three Keys Ornaments

I have many favorite ornaments- each one has special memory or such attached to it and so each one is a treasure. I purchased these keys from Christian Book Distributors a few years ago and thankfully I have 3 children so each puts up one of the keys.

The first key is the shepherd’s key- it is hung on a low tree branch because Jesus was born among the lowly- the sheep and the shepherds.
The second key is the Magi’s Key and is hung high on the tree- on a very top branch near the star because the Magi followed the star to find the Christ Child- the Light come into a dark world.

The third key is the Christ key and is hung on a branch in the center of the tree- because Christ was hung in the center (between you and me).

You could do something quite similar yourself without purchasing the set- just find some old skeleton keys or purchase some lovely reproductions at a craft store. Print out a little tag explaining each key’s meaning and tie them to the keys.
Pretty neat, eh?!
