The Christmas Pine

Deep in a snowy wood stands a little pine tree with a special destiny: when it grows up, it's going to be the famous Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square! Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway presents the British people with a spectacular Christmas tree as a symbol of peace and friendship. And each year, the UK Poetry Society asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson originally wrote The Christmas Pine to celebrate the 2020 Christmas tree.
