All those who came and looked had one thing in common: all wanted to buy the prettiest tree in the lot to take home and decorate gaily with bright lights and shiny balls in the warmth of their living rooms. On this particular lot, among the rows of beautiful and stately trees stood, what must be called, surely the ugliest Christmas trees in the whole world. Let us all celebrate this the most joyous time of the year. Let us be thankful for our many blessings. May this Christmas be filled with happiness for all and may His loving Spirit fill our hearts with kindness toward all Mankind. . tfr - HENRICHSEN PRINTING Smithfield, Utah It's skinny trunk was gnarled and bent; huge holes where no limbs grew made it look scrawny and what limbs it had did not grow gracefully with short ones at the top and large limbs at the bottom but instead had big and small limbs sticking out every which way making it an embarrassment to all the trees on the lot. And it was lopsided! So lopsided was the little tree that it fell over on its side at least twice a day and the men who tended the lot got veiy tired of picking it up and putting it back in its place in the And to make matters row. worse, the other trees laughed every time the ugly tree fell down. The little tree was very lone warm houses. wrapped packages, radiant with love. Only one tree was left stan- ding in the lot near the windswept, How could I have forgotten? Here Ive been taking care of all the children of the world giving them gifts and now I have forgotten to get a tree to surprise Mrs. Claus and the Elves in the morning. (Since the North Pole doesnt have many trees growing, Santo always picks one up Christ- There they .alarm, would be decorated with red and green and blue lights and spread their limbs over gaily snow-covere- d highway. The cold wind whistled through the tree's sparse limbs. No one had bought the tree because it was so terribly ugly. Bitter sap tears flowed and froze on its branches as the people who took it from its mother and father high atop a mountain turned off the lights, locked the doors and went home to celebrate Christmas with their families. Forlorn and tearful; the little tree stood green frost-bitte- n into the alone far night until a wind of rolling toward gust blew it over into the snow. Without hope and with a final shudder of despair, the ugly Christmas tree rolled deeper cinto the snow and lay still. Now in the wee hours of the morning, high above the sleeping town, a certain gentleman urged his reindeer homeward. It had been a rough night, but the old saint was once again satisfied with a job well done. He had only to relax now and let Rudolph guide he and the others home. Settling back in the warm sleigh, he sighed and puffed peacefully on his pipe. He thought about the past year, of preparing toys and reading all those letters from the children in 76 different languages and packing the sleigh till it was practically overflowing and finally all those chimneys he had been down that night. He was almost sure that somehow those chimneys were getting skinnier every year. Any way it certainly felt good to be going home. "Home,''' he exclaimed in mas Eve while delivering gifts.) Santo sat up straight and called out to Rudolph to home in on the nearest Christmas tree lpts. After a rapid diving descent, Rudolph guided the sleigh to a skidding stop on an almost empty tree lot in Cache Valley, Utah. Catching his breathe, . Santa climbed down and looked .under the darkened strings of lights at the snow covered land. Umph, none here, have to try someplace else I guess, Santo told the reindeer who were munching the electric light cords. But as Santo walked back to the sleigh he almost tripped on a snowcovered lump in the snow. Picking it up and shaking off the snow, Santo dis- covered the ugly green tree left behind by all the other shoppers. Hie little tree cringed, ashamed under the gaze of the great elf but Santa's voice was kindly, Not exactly beautiful on the surface, eh Prancer? But certainly it has a beauty of spirit beneath and that is the important part. So he put the ugly Christmas tree in the sleigh, climbed in beside it and pulled the warm lap robe up over them. The little Christmas tree yawned contently, and heard only the old gentlemen on Dasher, on Dancer and saw the white of snow around the sleigh before he fell asleep. calling, |
