This is a beautiful story of love and sacrifice. In a forest lives a fir tree with its
brothers. He is magnificent, unlike his
brothers. His vanity gets the best of him. Standing tall and proud, looking
down on his not so perfect brothers he is noticed by someone out looking for a
perfect Christmas tree. His brothers had
tried to protect him and are sad he is being chopped down. He is taken home and decorated. He wishes he
is back in his forest. One night a young
homeless girl comes and looks in the window at the warm fire and notices the
tree. This happens night after night.
One night so cold and hungry she collapses. When death comes for her the tree
is willing to give up his life for hers.
This is a beautiful story you will want to read every year to your young
ones, and for yourself.
