Summary: A young boy and his family cherish the tradition of visiting their special tree in the forest before Christmas. They decorate it with popcorn chains, apples, tangerines and balls of sunflower seeds; on the ground they scatter breadcrumbs for the little creatures who cannot fly or climb very well. They sing a Christmas song to the tree before they go back home. During Christmas, the little boy keeps thinking about the tree and all the animals that will find something to eat and celebrate Christmas around their tree.
