SAtory of the Christmas NailOne of these traditions is the โ€œChristmas nailโ€.ย  ย Supposedly resembling the nails used to attach Jesus to the cross, it is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmasโ€ฆ.that the birth of Christ was subsequently followed by His crucifixion and then His resurrection.

It is fitting that the nail is placed on a treeโ€ฆ.since He was crucified by hanging Him on a tree.
