Christmas Spirit with Christmas Quotes & Loving Tales / The Legend of The Christmas Tree Story

 At the fifth day in my Christmas spirit series I chosen a story I almost forgot as it was long time ago I read this story, the legend of the Christmas tree. Awakening memories as all the Cristmas tales, of other times as they themselves are a tale; cold winter's, snow and wood fires. In bed under the heavy, warm blankets reading with all the sweetness and expectation, one have as a child, for the tales to take over and transfer me to their wonderful place! 

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."  ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder

The legend of the Christmas tree has several interesting stories through centuries and is a wonderful story of how the evergreen tree first became a symbol of Christmas.

THE GIFT OF THE MAGI

The second story in my Christmas spirit series is a summary "The Gift of the Magi" it is a short classic  story and aim to teach the meaning of true giving and make Christmas the joy it should be. The story is written by the American writer O. Henry. It is a story about love and giving and how a young married couple deal with the challenge of buying secret Christmas gifts for each other with very little money. I provide a link bellow with the whole story for you who want to enjoy the beautiful tale!

"Christmas is about sharing love"

With only a week left to Christmas day and all the things left to do you are undoubtedly in need of a respite. 

I would like to make a gift to you and connect with the Christmas spirit by giving you each remaining Day quotations and Christmas tales so you can have a breather and spend time with your loved ones or just for you reading beautiful Christmas stories. Its a great way to be reminded about the meaning of Christmas and why it's the most important and magical holiday of the year!

With my best wishes to a Merry Christmas with Love!

"Remember, if Christmas isn't in your heart you want find it under a tree." 

As first tale I love to present  "The legend of the Christmas rose". A  short beautiful tale I found on worldonchristmas.net is teaching that no matter what your gift is it has to be from your heart, and a reminder that the gesture is what counts!
