the giving tree
The great Earth Turtle laughed, a deep and rumbling sound that dipped into the soul and warmed all the way ‘round. His gleaming, dark eyes watched the tree with good cheer, happily seeing the gifts Helovians held dear. His large shell— it danced! With moving patterns of light! A beautiful show of merry delight.
His laugh, how it rolled over hill and dale; the snow tried to mute it, but to no avail. The chuckle—it changed from a whimsical sound to the jingling of bells, leaving one spellbound. A chiming now ringing all through the land; the Turtle spoke, his voice just as grand, “Thank you! Thank you,” the jingling voice rumbled; one could tell by his face that he was quite humbled.
“This tree, with your trimmings, will give way to new beginnings. Out with the apathy and misery of old; in with a future that’s bright to behold. Hatred and sadness and listless ennui will all be ended on the Giving Tree’s day! So I bid you: gather round, close to your fellows; those of all colors: greens, reds, and yellows. Sit, stand, look, and admire this tree, a symbol of peace, cheer, and unity.”
And as his verse finished, the tree began to gleam; a soft, gentle light that was something of dreams. It warmed as it spread, the tree glowing within; and try as you might, it was hard not to grin. The cheer was infectious, goodwill abounds; only on this day could such joy be found.
Embrace the Tree’s spirit and bathe in the light,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
