The Broken Christmas Tree
Author: Elvin Brandt
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098006968
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
The story of The Broken Christmas Tree is all about one lonely tree on a tree farm in Pennsylvania which no one cares for or picks for their home at advent time. Unfortunate things happen as time goes on, meaning several years; and after a time, the tree believes it will never help celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. Now, although we don't believe trees have feelings and understand that the people who reject it year after year really mean no bad intentions, the lesson to be taught is that people do feel hurt emotionally when they are passed by for all kinds of reasons. After many years of working with children having special needs and most of all emotional issues, the author writes this tale with the understanding that adults in the lives of all our children can use it as a stepping-stone to teach about bullying and self-esteem. The positive emphasis is that none of us know the plan for our life in totality, and there is always a special reason God has for each of us. So will the tree fully understand why it was left behind and what the rest of its life was going to be? Read the story and enjoy His coming to earth for us this season.

"Of what use is one ugly little tree?" Atop a windswept hill, a crooked little tree stands alone . . . until one Christmas Eve, when an old woman labors up the hill with a box of ornaments, and tells the tree that he is special. He is to be the official Christmas tree for all of the homeless people in the city below! Year after year, colored balls and garland adorn the tree at Christmastime, but one year, the woman does not come. Will there be a Christmas for homeless? This story is based on actual events about a funny-looking mimosa tree that sits above a busy freeway in Fort Worth, Texas. A formerly homeless woman decorated the tree, year after year, so that the homeless would have a Christmas tree. When she died, neighbors took over the custom and now decorate it for Easter, Halloween, and other holidays as well. It can be seen on the north side of Interstate 30 near the Oakland exit.
