Other than a sprig of mistletoe that I modeled after a plastic one that was sent by my grandmother, here's what meant which:

1. A gold castle - The gold meant Jesus was a king. At the time, only royals could afford that expensive metal. Is it still true today?
2. A frankincense cloud - The frankincense meant Jesus was a godly figure who would be worshipped. Clouds are associated with Heaven, and frankincense was burned in the temple as a way of worshipping God.
3. A ground of myrrh - The myrrh meant Jesus was eventually going to die and get buried in a tomb. Myrrh was used to mask the smell of rotting corpses, and something was said along the lines of returning to the ground when dead.

GoM = Gift of Magi (Wise men)
