The Tree

THIS is the story of a tree. Or it might be more accurate to say that this is a story by a tree. Not an ordinary tree, mind you. Dear me, no! This was and is, a very special tree. Not tall, but full, and round. This tree is a Christmas tree all right but not one that had been cut in the fall to be shipped to market later during the Holidays. It had been carefully selected, dug up by its roots, and tenderly replanted outside a homey little house in the Middle West.
