Rock and Roll Saved My Soul

A Christmas Tree A Short Christmas Story by Charles Dickens I have been looking on, this evening, at a merry company of children assembled round that pretty German toy, a Christmas Tree. The tree was planted in the middle of a great round table, and towered high above their heads. It was brilliantly lighted by a multitude of little tapers; and everywhere sparkled and glittered with bright objects. There were rosy-cheeked dolls, hiding behind the green leaves; and there were real watches (with movable hands, at least, and an endless capacity of being wound up) dangling from innumerable twigs; there were French-polished tables, chairs, bedsteads, wardrobes, eight-day clocks, and various other articles of domestic furniture (wonderfully made, in tin, at Wolverhampton), perched among the boughs, as if in preparation for some fairy housekeeping; there were jolly, broad-faced little men, much more agreeable in appearance than many real men, and no wonder, for their heads took off...

Supplies:  - pine cone (any size) - paint - green, white, glitter  - pom poms or anything you want for decorations - hot glue  - base for tree to sit on  Step One:  Paint pine cone green. We did two coats of paint. Step Two:  Paint the ends white to look like snow. Step Three:  Paint glitter over the white paint (optional) Step Four:  Use hot glue to put the pom poms on the tree, or any other decorations you wish. Size based on the size of the tree. You can use any color you want. And add any decoration you wish to the top of the tree. Step Five:  Glue tree to the base. You can use whatever you have available for the base of the tree. We used a slice of wood. Can use a small clay pot or wine cork also.
