a branch near the trunk, a branch that will hold such a spike
without being noticed by well-wishers dropping by to admire one's
tinseled tree.
The nail is known only to the home that hangs it. Understood only by
the heart that knows its significance.
It is hung with the thought that.......
The Christmas tree but foreshadows the Christ-tree which only
He could decorate for us, ornamented with nails such as this.
A thin red velvet ribbon wrapped around the head of a spike
will suffice.
