How the Fir Tree Came
To Be Our Christmas Tree
Thin is the story of how <he fir
tree became the Christmas tree.
At the time when the Christ
Child was born all the people, the
animals and the trees and plants
were very happy.
The Child was born to bring
peace and happincts to the whole
world. People came daily to see
the little One. They saw the peo
ple. They wished that they, too,
might give presents to the Christ
Child.
The Palm said: "I will give my
most beautiful leaf, and place it
as a fan over the Child."
"And I," said the Olive, "will
sprinkle sweet smelling oil upon
His head."
"What can I give to the Child?"
asked the Fir, who stood near.
The other trees cried: "You
have nothing to offer Him. Your
needles would prick Him, and your
tears are sticky."
9o the poor fir tree was very ,
unhappy. It said: "Yes, you are,
right. I have nothing to offer the
Christ Child."
Near the trees stood the Christ
mas Angel, who had heard all that
the trees had said.
The Angel was sorry for the Fir
tree who was so lowly and with
out envy of the other trees.
When it was dark, and the stars
came out, he begged a few of the
little stars to come down and rer-t
upon the branches of the fir tree.
They did as the Christmas Angel
asked. The fir tree shovn with a
beautiful light.
At that moment the Christ Child
opened His eyes. He had been
?deep. As the lovely light from
the tree (ell upon Him, lie smiled
Every year people keep the dear
Christ Child's birthday by giving
gift* to each other.
Every year, in remembrance of
His first birthday, the Christmas
Angel places in every house a fir
tree.
Covered with starry candles it
shines for the children, as the stars
shone for the Christ Child.
The fir tree is our Christmas
tree.
