Summary
Tonight I will be reading a beautiful story called ‘ The Fir Tree’ by Hans Christian Anderson. This Christmas tale reminds us to enjoy each stage of life. Rather than focusing our thoughts and energy on what we don’t have...or where we would rather be...this story reminds us to embrace every stage of life and to appreciate and enjoy each moment that is given to us.
