The holidays are special because of family and friends. It's the time of the year when we gather to celebrate, and ribbons (and ham, and turkey, and eggnog ...) take center stage. This winter everyone in Lansing is celebrating the return of giant Christmas tree ornaments that have been displayed at a traffic roundabout in Michigan Avenue and Washington Square in downtown, just down the street from the beautiful capitol building. The ornaments were destroyed last winter by an unknown assailant who hit and broke the ornaments with their car, in the middle of the night. For a long time it looked like the ornaments weren't going to be replaced, and they almost weren't if not for the generosity of the Gentilozzi family, who picked up the $7,500 tab that the city voted down. Just in time for the official ushering of the holiday season in Lansing with the event called "Silver Bells in the City," the 35th annual celebration that will have the entire city aglow with millions of lights and will feature lighted floats, illuminated marching bands, electric light parade, the lighting of the Capitol Christmas tree and fireworks over the Capitol dome! You can be sure that Lansing residents as well as those of nearby Portland, Charlotte, Saint-John, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Flint, and others will be attending and afterward lighting their own special celebration at home.

Red Green and Gold Ribbons Are Lansing's Holiday Colors
Different cultures have different names for the festive holidays that coincide with end of the year celebrations. Members of the Jewish faith celebrate Hanukkah, which commemorates an ancient uprising against the Greeks and Syrians, is distinguished by the color blue in all its shades. Blue ribbon of various lengths and widths is used to decorate the dinner table, blue ribbon bows on elaborate menorahs, and blue ribbon for gift wrapping. Those who follow the principles of African culture celebrate Kwanzaa, a week-long festivity that honors African heritage, unity, and giving. The color ribbons that associate with Kwanzaa are red, black, and green and these are on the garments, as well as color ribbons that are used for decorations. Intertwined red ribbon with green ribbon or black ribbon are used for example to frame a doorway, use as gift wrap ribbon color, and to decorate a room. The ribbon colors of Christmas are red, green, and gold, Lansing's favorite holiday colors, come from western and northern European traditions where Christmas took place at the height of the dark, cold winter. Green ceremonial ribbon represents evergreen plants like Mistletoe and Holly used for thousands of years to brighten the dark winter. The green color ribbon during Christmas goes back to Roman times when evergreen branches were exchanged by neighbors and family as good luck. Today the most common use of the color green during the holidays are on Christmas trees and, ceremonial ribbons. The gold ribbon color represents sun and light, much needed during the dark, cold winter months. Gold ribbon tree top, or a golden tree top star represent this meaning. Red ribbon, which represents the color of Holly berries and remind us of the Spring that lies ahead, uses the color of vitality and life - in fact, the color of blood. Santa's suit is red, Rudolph's nose is red, and red bows and red ribbons are the single most common color and ornaments of Christmas, and hence in downtown Lansing, the red inspired giant Christmas tree ball ornaments!
Christmas is a holiday celebrated by people around the world whether they are Christians or not, and it is a holiday marked by the warmth of the colors red, green, and gold (silver is also used - as in "Silver Bells in the City" of Lansing!).
