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:
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.
