"The Fir Tree"
Christmas is coming closer, so it's time for the annual
Season's Greetings to this group. This year I have chosen H.C. Andersen's heart-breaking tale about "The Fir Tree" that was transformed to a Christmas Tree -- illustrated with christmas trees on stamps world wide, whatever I could find in my collections :-) http://danish-christmasseals.school....2003Tree01.htm (one long line if broken) The translation is not my own, but that of the H.C. Andersen Society in Denmark. It is strange to read this old-fashioned and slightly stilted language, but it is naturally kept very close to Andersen's time. However, the morale is good enough: the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence, so be happy with what you are, and where you are ... ;-) -- Ann Mette Heindorff (Mette) return address invalid http://danish-christmasseals.school.dk |

Sometime we just take things for granted and don't look at the trees in the forest... :^) Tracy Barber |
