Christmas Tree

The Birch tree said, I want to be a Christmas tree The Balsam Fir tree said, you can’t be, you’re a Birch The Birch tree said, I am white as snow, yes I can The Maple tree said, find a purpose, I make syrup The Oak tree said in agreement, I feed the squirrels Then, the squirrels nearby could hear the chatter Feeling bad for the Birch tree, they decided to gather They collected acorns and strung them with blades of grass They hung them around the Birch tree as perfect garland Then the Blue Jay gathered some Holly Berries too The Eagle put together some special leaves for a star Soon, the Birch was a Christmas tree, gleaming from afar!

Hello Heidi, I am so pleased that the birth tree became the Christmas Tree. Why not? We take a bare bush and decorated with Christmas lights. It is beautiful. We do this every year. Have a nice day my friend.

Oh, this is absolutely wonderful, Heidi. A new fave for me. I adore the way the creatures came together to make the birch tree's wish of becoming a Christmas tree come true! Congratulations on your win, Carolyn
