The feelings of a Christmas tree The happiest Christmas tree By APRIL BROMLEY Blyth Public School Grade 3 Once upon a time there lived a tiny tree. He lived in the woods. All the big trees laughed at the tiny little tree. They were sure they' d get picked for a Christmas tree. The little spruce tree was sad. He wanted them to stop calling him names and laughing at him. He really wanted to be a big beautiful Christmas tree. Then one day just before Christmas, •a man came and took out an axe. Then he chopped the little tree down, for now he was bigger. The little tree didn't even notice that he had got a lot bigger. He was so happy. The man took the tree home in his truck. When his family saw the beautiful tree they danced around the tree. It made the tree so happy. After that they decorated the tree into a beautiful Christmas tree. The Christmas tree was so happy he wondered if the Other trees got picked to be Christmas trees. He was so happy he almost wanted to get up and walk over to tell all the trees in the woods. But he knew not to. Soon he forgot all the trees in the woods. He was thinking of what was going to hap- pen after Christmas. He was thinking awful things,' like that they were going to throw him in the garbage or burn hirn. He had awful dreams that night. But he had forgot- ten that it was Christmas night. He forgot to be happy. In the morning he saw all these toys and suddenly he remembered that it was Christmas morning. But on him there. was a note that said, "Dear tree, don't think about what they will do to you. They are very, very Onice people. They will try to keep you until next•Christmas. And if you will really try to live you will. Bye bye! from Sant Claus". That made him feel. so happy! It made him feel like somebody put some powder on him so it would make him happy. Santa Claus was right. They did put him upstairs and water him every day. Helived until next Christmas. In fact he lived for many, many, many Christmases. He is still alive now. He is the happiest of all the Christmas trees in the world: w:• Tina Barkholder The happiest Christmas ever By TINA BURKHOLDER Blyth Public School Grade a Once upon a time there was a Christmas tree. He was small and all the other Christmas trees were bigger than him and stronger than hirn. He felt sad because no one wanted him. Then one cold night a family came in the store. They were looking for a Christmas tree that was small and not too big. When the little girl set sight on the . small Christmas tree she said, "Oh please Mom and Dad. Can we get that Christmas tree? Please can we?" "Well, let me see. How much does the Christmas tree, over there in the corner cost M. Owen?" "Oh let me see. Ah, it costs 40 dollars". "Then we will get it", So they took the Christmas tree home. Mom said, "We'll decorate it tomorrow". "Oh Mom, can't we decorate it tonight?" asked Billy and Elizabeth. "Please, please?" "No, we can't. It has been a long night," said Daddy. Meanwhile, the Christmas tree was feel- ing sad because he was cold and wet. A large tear rolled down his face. the next day Billy and Elizabeth's father went out and brought the poor Christmas tree into th, house. He set him up. Then . Billy an(' Elizabeth helped decorate the tree.. Pretty soon the small Christmas tree was both hap- py and looked nice too. After they had decorated the tree they sang some carols and opened some presents. It was the happiest Christmas ever, thought Billy and Elizabeth.
