Make it Merry & Bright

Hello my friend! how are you today?
Christmas is coming, of course, we are busy making preparations to celebrate Christmas by placing a Christmas tree, decorate the house,  Wow ... this is my pleasure, decorate the house with the traditional Christmas colors: White, Green, Red, Yellow, and make Christmas cards to send to family, relatives and friends. It feels like Christmas soon ....  
  
COLORS
  • White: represents light and purity. Christian churches often use white as the liturgical color of Christmas.
    (2 Corinthians 5:21)
    Green: represents God's eternal love for mankind. Evergreen trees and wreaths are familiar green symbols used during the holiday season.
    (John 3:16-17)
    Red: represents the blood shed by Jesus so that mankind's sins would be forgiven. Red apples, berries and ribbons are popular holiday decorations.
    (John 19:34)
    Yellow: represents the light that is shown to mankind by God, helping them to find their way in the darkness. Candles, tree lights and the Star of Bethlehem on the treetop are symbols of this light.
    (Rev. 3:18)

And today I want to share with you, which I make special card,  special because this card is my first Christmas card  this year!.
