The Christmas Tree Elizabeth Furman Eckel

This is a children's story, delightfully illustrated, that will appeal to the imagination of 3-6 year olds, as well the parent, grandparent reader. The story evolved from a true-life experience of the author, who discovered a few active residents in the Christmas tree that she and her children brought home from a New Hampshire Christmas tree farm. The narrative follows, and the illustrations capture, festive holiday traditions including kindly Santa Claus and the playful addition of unusual guests within the Christmas tree.
