Short story that was free for Kindle.
A nice story about a grandfather who visits his daughter for Christmas and finds a house in turmoil. His daughter has lost her job and is fighting with her husband. The four sons are at war with each other.
Grandfather sits the boys down and tells them a story. About love in the time of the ice age and the healing power of faith in the presence of a magnificent evergreen tree.
The story within the story was very heartwarming.
A nice quic

Interesting Christmas story. I had never heard this before, but I liked it. I could almost picture the tree as it was described. Sometimes I wish Christmas would be as simple as I remember those of my childhood, well at least they seemed simple. When did Christmas become about things and not about the perfect gift. I remember treating my things with respect, to appreciate what I received.
Hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner.

A very short little Christmas love story about the first Christmas tree told by a grandfather to his family. Warmed my heart, but then I'm a sucker for good feeling books that bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my heart. Free on the Kindle, worth the reading.

This is a nice little story that I think set itself up to be more sentimental than it was for me.
It gives a reason for the origin of the Christmas tree that had nothing discernably christian -- in an either the religious or cultural sense -- about it.

What a cute little story. Picked this up in Amazon's free ebooks section. This is a very short story, I read it in ten minutes, but it was cute.

This is a very short, sentimental Christmas tale. It is enjoyable, but certainly could have been a chapter in a much longer, interesting saga.

Eh, it was ok. I got this story for free on Barnes and Noble.com for my Nook. It was a nice short story, just not quite my usual taste.

sweet short story. The writing is fairly bad but the story is sweet. It is so short that the writing itself is tolerable.

A sweet story. What magic when a grandfather can calm down four rowdy school-age boys.

I found it pointless. It has nothing to do with Christmas. Very disappointing.
