The Christmas-Tree Lights

"The Christmas-Tree Lights" is a children's poem capturing the bittersweet final moments of Christmas week, when the tree must come down and the holiday's end looms near. A group of siblings — tiny Doris and Douglas, middle child Alice, the eldest narrator, and baby Grace — each take turns blowing out the candles on the Christmas tree by height, from the lowest branches to the very top. The poem turns a moment of loss into a cherished ritual, where the last flicker of light becomes the sweetest memory of the whole holiday season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-kids-stories-0-6-years--6559507/support.
