Have you noticed Christmas wreaths on people’s doors? They’re those pretty circles made of pine branches, sometimes decorated with ribbons, pinecones, or ornaments. You can find wreaths everywhere during Christmas—on doors, windows, and even hanging from light posts!

But did you know that Christmas wreaths aren’t just decorations? They actually have a special meaning! The wreath is shaped like a circle, and a circle has no beginning and no end. It just goes around and around forever. That circle shape reminds us of something super important: the everlasting life that Jesus came to give us!

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, He came to give us a gift that lasts FOREVER. The Bible says that everyone who believes in Jesus will have “everlasting life.” That means our life with Jesus doesn’t stop when we die—it goes on and on and on, like a circle that never ends!

Some presents are cool for a few days or weeks, but they eventually get old or break. But the gift Jesus gives us—eternal life with Him—is the best gift ever because it NEVER runs out! It’s like having Christmas morning every single day forever and ever in heaven with Jesus!

Take Action: The next time you see a Christmas wreath (maybe on your own door or a neighbor’s house), let it remind you of God’s amazing gift of eternal life! You could even make your own paper wreath. Cut a circle out of green construction paper (or color a paper plate green), decorate it however you want, and write “Everlasting Life!” in the middle. Hang it in your room to remember that Jesus’ gift lasts forever! Then thank Jesus for the greatest gift ever—life with Him that never, ever ends!
