The Legend of the First Christmas Tree

The night of the Saviour's birth, all the living creatures, both
flora and fauna, came to Bethlehem with gifts. The olive tree
brought its fruit and the palm its dates. But the little fir tree had
no gift and was so tired it couldn't resist when the big trees
pushed it into the background and hid it from view. But then a
nearby angel took pity and commanded a cluster of stars to come
and rest on its delicate boughs. When the Baby Jesus beheld this
lovely lighted tree, He smiled and blessed it, declaring henceforth
that fir trees should always be filled with lights at Christmas time
to please little children.
