Tommy's Treasured Christmas Tree

Once upon a time (all good stories begin with once upon a time) there was a beautiful Christmas tree. It was likely the most beautiful Christmas tree that little Tommy had ever seen. Of course, he was only 7, so he hadn’t actually seen that many. This was the fi rst time that little Tommy was old enough to help select the family’s Christmas tree. The weekend before Christmas, the family had piled into Grandpa’s old pickup truck and driven to the tree farm outside of town.
