Christmas Eve Tree
Christmas Eve Tree | Delia Huddy
12 posts | 2 read
In a deeply moving story with the hallmarks of a classic, a homeless boy s rescue of a spindly Christmas tree sparks a glimmer of hope that has far-reaching effects. It s late on Christmas Eve, and the little fir tree is the only tree left in the shop. What a poor thing I am, it thinks. But then a young boy enters the store, drawn in from the damp by the warmth and lights and the wonderful smell of Christmas, and he doesn t seem to mind that the scrawny tree isn t tall and straight like the others. . . . This magical story, beautifully illustrated by Emily Sutton, captures an unexpected and unforgettable moment of happiness that brings a whole city together."

This is a bit of a sad tale. A little stubby Charlie Brown tree just wants a home for christmas. Instead he gets a homeless little boy and a box. The story has a happy ending, and I did like that the story pointed out that not everyone‘s christmas is a happy one, but not a story I would want to read over and over again.

We incorporated this into our Christmas Eve last year and loved it. Anyone else do this and how do you make it your own in your family? I make cocoa and we nosh on cookies and other goodies.

CogsOfEncouragement We have not done this yet, but I have been thinking about doing something like this in the next couple years because my kids are getting older and they both enjoy reading. 7y
readinginthedark I would love to do this, but my husband is not much of a reader, and my son doesn't know how yet. 😕 Maybe in the future... 7y
Godmotherx5 I haven't done it but would love to start. 7y

BooksForYears If my family were book readers, this would be amazing. I'd love to incorporate this into holiday festivities! 7y
Sara_Planz My husband isn't much either but occasionally I get him one he loves. The Martian was a big hit for him as was Davinci Code. 7y
thec0zy I definitely want to incorporate this! My bf's family exchanges gifts after midnight service, so this would be a perfect way combination that with gift-giving on Christmas Day 🎄 7y

Of all the books I purchased today at Hicklebee's, this was my favorite. I love books that talk about giving, and how good things can happen because of that giving. I almost cried at the end. The illustrations are so beautifully done. It reminded me of Kate DiCamillo's Great Joy. Same wonderful feeling in my heart when I finished. Yummy.
