Christmas Tree Blessing

Dear God,

two thousand years ago,

you brought your son, Jesus, into this world

to teach us the power of love and sacrifice.

As we raise this tree, we remember his birth

and the meaning of his life for us.

Bless this tree

as a symbol of our celebration of Jesus’ birth

and our gratitude for his sacrifice.

May the joy this tree brings

and the gifts we place under it

remind us of the many gifts

you have given us.

We ask your blessings upon our loved ones,

this day and always.

Amen
