Jonathan's Christmas Tree
by Maggie Eaton
with Illustrations by Rachel Terlop
Jonathan, a joyful little boy from a small Ohio town, shared a special tradition with his loving parents. Every year, after Thanksgiving, the family visited Sprague Spruce Farm to choose a Christmas tree. Jonathan delighted in the search, selecting a unique tree to replant in their backyard. As the tree grew, it became a home for baby cardinals, teaching Jonathan the beauty of giving back to nature. The tradition continued as the family welcomed a baby brother, adding more joy to Jonathan's life. Each tree became a symbol of love, magic, and the wonder of the world around them, leaving a lasting legacy of cherished memories and beautiful surprises for years to come.
