Once upon a time, there was a family
with two children who lived in a small house near the forest. They were very
happy together and every year in the beginning of December they would decorate
the Christmas tree. This year though, the father was on a business trip and by
the fifteenth of December they still hadn’t decorated anything.
That night, after dark, the
Christmas decorations came to life and were wondering why they weren’t yet on
the tree. So they decided to decorate the Christmas tree themselves. First of all,
the Christmas balls jumped out of the box, followed by the Christmas bells.
Then another box opened and one after each other the Christmas lights came out.
One decoration was still missing. They were all looking around and suddenly saw
a box next to the tree, opened it and there it was, the Christmas star.
The little girl of the family woke
up because she heard some noise. She went down the stairs and looked behind the
door into the living room. There she heard the lights making wishes for love
and happiness in the world and saw them jump on the tree. The lights were
followed by the balls and the bells and in the end the Christmas star climbed
up the top of the tree, making a wish for peace and health for all the children
on earth.
The other morning the family was
surprised to see the Christmas tree magically decorated but the little girl
learnt that every Christmas decoration has got a different meaning. Every year
from now on if she decorates the tree herself, she will know that each little
ball, bell, light or star means a wish for a better world.
