~Beginning Of Christmas Trees~
~*~
Of the beginning of the Christmas tree
Are legends far and near
Of each and every one
This is my favorite to hear
*
It is told that this happened
On a long ago precious night
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem
All living things were led by the light
*
A light shining brightly
On the stable above the manger
Even trees came bearing their gifts
The light from stars kept them all from danger
*
Dates were brought by the palm
Fruit was from the olive tree
But the lowly little fir had not
A gift for the Christchild to see
*
It wanted so badly to see Jesus
but the big trees pushed it aside
It was standing in the background
Its view the other trees did hide
*
A nearby Angel saw this happen
And took pity on the little tree
She commanded a cluster of stars to rest
On the firs boughs for all to see
*
When Baby Jesus saw this sight
It was so beautiful to behold
That He declared this happen at Christmas time
To please little children, we are told
*
So as we admire our Christmas trees
With each shiny glow of light
Let us remember this story of Baby Jesus
And the stars from Heaven shining brightly at night
