The Short (mostly) Happy Life of a Christmas Tree

A short whimsical look at the many aspects of Christmas from the view point of a sassy and winsome young tree. The story incorporates family values, environmental awareness, the religious aspects of the holiday and first person narrative in a tale that should appeal to ages 5 to 10. It was written as a present for the authors children when they were small and now this delightful tale is offered to the general public in the hope that it will become as much as beloved tradition with other families as it was with the author's daughters.
