Mercy, is that ever cute-- Morgan is giving hers to her American Girl doll. :)
The Lesson of The WreathThe Poinsettia flower is known to have leaves which resemble a star. Can you see it? Look very closely and you'll see.
Can you think of the importance of Christmas and a star? God chose to use many things to point to baby Jesus... and one of them was a star which lead the wise men to him.
