Lyrics to ---Had It Not Been For Love There Would Be No Christmas Today?
Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Ever since God made man Man has been a part of the Master's Plan Our Heavenly Father watches from above Offer us protection and so much love Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today God love for mankind was without limitation Gave to man this marvelous creation I guess you wonder how could such a gift be Oh my friend He did it all just for you and for me Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today By man being disobedient to the Master's Plan God decided to go down and destroy man But there was much more love sitting on His Right Hand He said make Me a body and I'll go down and redeem man Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today Had it not been for love there'd be no Christmas today
What Christmas song does this lyric come from - if i were a wise man?

Does the song The Twelve Days of Christmas have anything to do with the Christian tradition of the Epiphany?
1Yes. The "Twelve Days" are the days after Christmas, leading up to Epiphany. Note that Christmas itself isn't one of the twelve days; it is the twelve days *after* Christmas that count! There were once traditions associated with each of the twelve days; I recommend reading John Matthew's "The Winter Solstice: The Sacred Traditions of Christmas" for details on those traditions.You will sometimes read that the Twelve Days count Christmas, but NOT Epiphany; as evidence, it will be offered that the night of January 5 is called "Twelfth Night." This is both accurate and inaccurate, and to understand it, you must know the following:In ancient English tradition, DAYS and NIGHTS were recorded separately. That is, what we call "Monday" ("monandaeg" in Anglo-Saxon) ended at sundown,a nd what we call "Monday night" was actually, literally, "Mon-night" (monannicht in A-S).What does this mean? The "Twelve" count begins on *Christmas night,* which is the "first night." The next day, December 26, is the "first day;" the night of December 2h the "second night," and so on. So the eve of January 5 *is* Twelfth Night, and the day of January 6 is the Twelfth Day of Christmas.It is sometimes claimed that the Twelve Days correspond to a scattered number of important Christian days in December and January, including St. Nicholas Day on December 6th, but this is wrong.Also wrong is the myth that the 'Twelve Days of Christmas" is somehow a coded Catholic catechism. Evidence against this can be found on the Snopes website.2The song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas" has everything to do with the Christian tradition of Epiphany. Some modern Christians have even associated each gift with a symbolic of a Christian tradition: True love is symbolic of God. The partridge in the pear tree is a symbol of Jesus. The pear tree is the symbol of the salvation of man, just as the fruit tree in the garden of Eden symbolized the downfall of man. [2?] Three French hens are the symbol of faith, hope and love. The four calling birds are symbolic of the four Gospel writers. [5?] Six geese a laying represent the 6 days of creation. 7 swans a swimming - the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. [8 and 9?] Ten lords a leaping -- the 10 commandments. [11?] 12 drummers -- the 12 tribes of Israel or the 12 Apostles. The number 12 also represents completion and fullness.There is no accurate evidence that the song originally held such meanings, but it's wonderful that modern Christians have been able to interpret the song so!
What is the meaning to the lyrics of the hanging tree song?
Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man they say murdered three. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where the dead man calls out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where I told you to run so we'd both be free. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Wear a necklace of rope side by side with me. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree [x2]

What country started the tradition of Christmas trees?
The Christmas tree dates back to over a thousand years. The ancient Celtic tribes saw the evergreen as the only living plant in the dead of winter, so for the solstice they would bring the evergreen branches into their homes. The Romans used fir trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturmalia. When Christian monks converted the Celts they kept some of the solstice customs like the evergreen. For the celebration of Christ Mass they used the tree to teach the idea of the trinity. The shape of the tree has three points to it and the Christmas celebration was 3 masses on the day that was chosen to be Christmas. After the masses they would eat dinner. The first documented use of a tree at Christmas is from Eastern Europe. A picture from Germany in 1521 shows a tree being paraded through streets with a man riding a horse behind it. The first person to put a Christmas tree into the house may have been in the 16th century. The first trees were decorated with edible things like gingerbread and gold covered apples. Then, glass makers made special small ornaments to hang in the tree. In 1830 the British had Christmas trees and Queen Victoria had one at Windsor Castle. A drawing was made of the tree and this helped Christmas trees to become popular in the U.K. and the United States. Candles were added to the tree at this time and tinsel.

Where did the idea for Christmas trees come from?
The Christmas tree is a symbolic representation of several events in the life of Jesus Christ. The traditional Christmas tree has a star on top, symbolizing the bright start in the sky which marked the birth of Jesus. Gifts below the tree, symbolize the gifts presented to Jesus, and is itself a tree is a symbol of the cross on which Jesus would be crucified. Often in the bible, the cross is referred to as "a tree," and so the Christmas tree, though used on the day that celebrates the birth of Christ, is a foreshadowing of the ultimate purpose of Jesus coming as a man.
