The first ornament that goes on our tree each year is a long spike/nail to remember the nails that were used to hang Jesus on the cross. We hung the nail close to the center of the tree. It is also the last ornament we take off the tree each year so that we can reflect back on the season and all that we have celebrated. It was so sweet to hear Hal explain to D why we were hanging the nail on the tree. I had visions of him explaining it to him in the years to come and each year he could go a little deeper into the story.
