The three trees near the stable where Jesus was born wanted to offer gifts. The olive tree offered olives to anoint Jesus' feet and the palm tree offered shade and breeze. The sad pine had nothing to offer until an angel helped by asking the stars to light up the pine's branches as a guide for visitors to see Jesus. Everyone admired the beautiful, bright pine tree and started decorating pine trees in their homes at Christmas in memory of the tree from Bethlehem.
