| Post subject: | A Very Special Christmas Tree |
A Very Special Christmas Tree Once upon a time in a big Christmas tree orchard with a lot of big trees, I was a little new sprout just 15 inches tall. The year is 1989. One day a man, woman and boy came and chopped me down. They took me from all my friends. I was sad and lonely. The next day the boy and woman came home with a coffee can. The put some soil in the bottom with some plant food. They put me into the can then filled it with some more soil. Everyday they would water me. One day on the morning of the 24th of December, they came into the dining room, took me off of the table and brought me into the kitchen. They put me onto the kitchen table and started to decorate me with lights (that were battery operated), a crocheted star, tinsel and some read and green Christmas balls. I looked like a million dollars. After a couple of hours, they came back into the kitchen and took me to the car. The boy had put me on the floor of the car so I couldn't see. I went to sleep. It seemed to take hours but it only took a few minutes. They walked a while until they came to a gravestone that is blue. The boy sat me down just behind the gravestone. I read the words on the gravestone "OUR SPECIAL SON AND BROTHER." I WAS HERE TO CELEBRATE Christmas with their son and brother, Michael Lee. Oh my! What a special place and they picked me to be here with him! Pictures were taken of me and Michael's place. After an hour they left. Dark came and I was scared and cold but then I had this weird feeling. The feeling felt warm and happy. I wasn't scared anymore either. I couldn't see Michael but I could tell he was watching me and was happy too. I couldn't see him but I heard him laugh because he like me being there. About three days later they came back and took me away. I waved bye but I made it look like the wind moved my branch. I could feel him laugh and wave bye too. |
