Merry Christmas or Time of new Life. This is how a Christmas Tree might look when showing all the DNA of life and it's amino acids. The tinsel stringing from branch to branch is also a match for the hexagram numbers. The presents at the bottom are the cubes of DNA. Using these 8 cubes you can turn them in different directions to create all 64 DNA codons. I loved the idea of this as a game called I am the 8. Using all eight cubes you have to create a single cube showing the four colours on all six sides, sadly it wasn't long before I realised you could cut this down to just four cubes and once again we are back to the original DNA windows design. Note that both trees have two coloured rods down their centers and the other colours come off them. You can reduce them further but that would affect the way the hexagrams tinsels match up. Some connect from one tree to the next others connect on the same branches and still others might move up or down the branches but the hexagrams all match up in this way.
