Today's Christmas story, set in California, is unique and inspiring. Richard Taylor offers up a wonderful tale of a family, their Grandfather and the real meaning of life in Evergreen A Christmas Tale.
The story is told by the eight year old grandson. As an aging adult he tells how his family was healed during a difficult time in their family when Grandfather visits for Christmas. Although Grandfather is dying he has much more to offer his family than a mere story about how the first Christmas tree came to be. As he spins his tale the impact of this remarkable story heals then goes on to survive not only the teller but other family members and future generations as well. I found it heart warming that sometimes those who seem to have the least are capable of giving the most.
The tale is about nomadic people who travel south as the ice and snow move down creating a diverse cultural element that adds a great deal to the story. A beautiful glittering evergreen tree is central to the survival of the main characters.
