This free printable "Merry Christmas Tree" coloring page is the alter-ego to the Stressed Christmas Tree featured in my Nit Wits comic #29. Enjoy some stress-free Christmas coloring fun today, but before you do that, please read my creative Chris-Must story that I wrote as I went:

A Chris-Must Story

Another TREEmendous Chris-Must Story

ONCE UPON A TIME there was a family of three who brought home a freshly-cut Christmas tree each year. One year the family, the father, mother, and child, went to choose their tree at the Christmas tree farm and found that all the trees had been chopped down except one.

When the family approached the lonely tree, they saw that it had a small sapling growing near it about four feet away.

"Well, since this is the last tree, I guess we have to take it." said the father.

"But if we take that tree," interjected the mother, "who will watch over the baby Christmas tree sapling?"

"But WE need a tree!" the father said loudly.

"Doesn't the baby sapling need that tree more than we?" the child in the family spoke softly.

The father and mother stood quiet for a few moments.

"Yes, I suppose." Both responded in unison.

"Then we shall not cut down this last tree." the father declared.

"We shall leave the two trees together." The mother agreed. And then the family left.

The next day the family came back to the two trees, and the father was carrying a big cardboard box. He set the box down in the snow between the big tree and the sapling and opened it up. Inside the box were various colored ornaments that the family usually decorated their cut-down Christmas tree with inside their home.

"This year we're going to enjoy having our Christmas tree outside, and we're going to have two of them!" The father said with a smile on his face.

With that, the family began taking ornaments from the box and started hanging them on the big Christmas tree. After awhile the tree was full of colorful ornaments.

"There, isn't that wonderful?" The mother laughed.

At that, the child went to the box and took out one tiny red ornament. It was the perfect size for a very small tree. The child turned around and hung it on a strong branch on the sapling.

"Now it's wonderful." The child agreed.

The family smiled together and looked at both decorated Christmas trees. No trees would have to be lonely, and the family still had their decorated Christmas tree. And everybody was happy.
