This is a short Christmas story about a small fir tree growing near a disused barn. It represents many human resources such as resilience and the down-trodden becoming strong.

I wrote it because I have always kept a Christmas carol in my head which I learned at primary school called “ The Little Green Fir tree” and I wanted to give credit to that carol.

No matter what your belief or religion, I hope it sends a magical message of triumph over adversity, hope and love this Christmas season.
