Christmas is a time of giving. You get higher education so you can "give "yourself a better chance in life.

well... You usually start at the bottom of the tree with lights and decoration, but first you must plug the lights in. the you work and wrap your way around until you reach the top, and there is where you finish by crowning or topping the tree of with a star or Angel. But the only difference is, is that with a tree you stop, with education you never do. You work hard and you add small little things, work your way up, and then you top it off, you stand back and look, and it is beatifully finished, lighting up your whole life. Guiding you. I hope some things I have said give you an/or some Ideas!!!

Your ideas are the light bulbs.
Your increased knowledge are the ornaments/decorations.
Your career goal is the star on the top of the tree.
Your university entrance test is the tree holder.
Your teachers/professors are the Salvation Army Band (trying to help others).
Your tuition is your credit card bill.
Your books are the stockings (full of the gift of knowledge).
Your computer is "Twas the Night Before Christmas". (I don't think I know what that means, but I'm on a roll.)

This is a difficult question. At first I thought you meant that you wanted to use a Christmas theme in the college classroom. But it seems you mean you want to use a Christmas illustration to promote pursuing higher education.
Use the Wise Men. They were learned men searching for the newborn King of Israel. Apparently they used their knowledge of astronomy and astrology to follow the star to go as far as Jerusalem. When they didn't know any more from their own study, they asked questions: "Where is he who is born king of the Jews?" They received an answer via someone who knew Hebrew Scripture, and went to Bethlehem and found him.
Furthermore, they didn't rely upon gained knowledge alone, but on revelation. God told them in a dream not to go back to Herod, so they returned to their own country via another route.
You can say the Wise Men were scholarly people who did research and asked questions but didn't rely upon knowledge alone. Similarly, you can say that those in higher education also use books and interviews to gain knowledge, but that at least some of them also rely upon revelation and instinct.

how about...note how long holiday traditions have been around, like xmas, back a few centuries only monks and clergy had "higher" education, and it was there part to pass on traditions to the poor & less educated...becoming a monk learning and teaching and xmas was a big part of it?
I might be stretching here...hopefully it helps!
