Day 27: Christmas Trees


Today is the day we put up our Christmas tree.  No doubt G will help, and this year his assistance might include more than taking an ornament and running.  *Smile*
 
 

In the book A Wish to be a Christmas Tree author Colleen Monroe writes about an overgrown pine living at North Star Tree Farm. This tree feels sad to be overlooked by families who choose “the fat Scotch pine” and the “fir so fine.”
 
 

The animals at the tree farm all speak up and tell the pine tree how he is “more than just a great, big tree.”

“Your branches keep us safe and warm,
you are our shelter from the storm.”
A cardinal flying by chirped in,
“You are my safety from the wind.”

Illustrator Michael Glenn Monroe paints the snowy pages with skies of pink, orange and yellow.  Detailed forest animals, such as a white-tailed deer, squirrel and white rabbit gather and bring gifts of holly berry and acorns to decorate the snow-draped, sleepy pine.
 
 

All this typing about Christmas decorating makes me feel inspired.  Time to put up some Christmas lights!

What are your favorite Christmas books?   I’ll tell you a secret.  I think Santa will bring G the following book this year:  The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg.

  2. The following time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt
    disappoint me as a

    lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to read,
    but I

    actually thought youd have something fascinating to
    say. All I

    hear is a bunch of whining about something that you might fix for those who werent too busy on the lookout for attention.
