Very nice short story about one of the trees at Rockefeller Center in New York City.

Really cute, short and simple Christmas story. Written by the POV of the NYC gardener who's in charge of acquiring the Rockefeller Center tree, and the group of nuns that he gets the tree from.

updated review: The Christmas Tree by Julie Salamon
wrote first review Jan 2015: I have read many books about how the tree is selected and how it gets from point A to point B.
Very fascinating details along the way.
Based on the NJ nuns that donated a tree to the NY Rockefeller center for the holidays.
As told from the gardener of Rockefeller Center he must search for and find just the right tree every year to display.
One day from the air he learns of the Nunnery and how it came to be as he finds a really good tree. Love hearing of the different species of trees as my family is in the nursery business.
Loved hearing of the journey as I had read about a similar journey from the west coast=a tree for America. Love the history how the tree is selected as I am from a nursery family. We just recently removed our 30 yr old CO blue spruces as the branches were too damaged to save.
Pictures along the way help tell the story.
I received this book from Open Road Media in exchange for my honest review.

Such a sweet little book! I feel very attached to our little Christmas tree this year, so this was a perfect year to read a sentimental book about Christmas trees.

I love this book. I read it every year before Christmas and it brings me to tears (happy tears) each time. It is so sweet and the perfect reminder for the season.

I had no idea this book was about the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree when I picked started reading! (Fun Fact: I rarely read the inside of the jacket - I like to be surprised.). But oh my heart, could this have been any sweeter? Absolutely loved this one and will definitely be making it part of our family Christmas reading tradition.

Adored this sweet little novella about unexpected friendships. Such a great Christmas read. Perfect illustrations to accompany a heartfelt, but not corny, story.

The Christmas Tree is a beautifully told story. It has none of the traditional Dickensian Christmas misery and bypasses the ubiquitous commercialism of Christmas. There is some sadness in the story, but overall, The Christmas Tree evokes an uplifting feeling of happiness and goodwill.
