    About this ebook

    Papa says "No Christmas tree this year," because the family is going to be away from home visiting grandparents. / Mama is frazzled because the family has just moved into a new house in a foreign country and she needs to find the dishes, not the Christmas ornaments. / But ten-year-old Jack and four-year-old Maria know what is truly important about celebrating Christmas and get some help from a tree with a mind of its own.
