Elf The Christmas Tree

By Kevin McGann

Elf The Christmas Tree is a small, bare, lopsided Scotch pine whose Christmas wish is to give love and happiness to his family and people around the world, not only this year, but every year.

It’s Christmas Eve, and Elf is nervously waiting in a tree lot for a family to choose him as their Christmas tree, but as we sadly know, it’s impossible for a Christmas tree to give love and happiness year after year.

Or is it?...Let’s find out.
