[Old Professer]

I wrote a high school composition called The Littlest Christmas Tree in 1956; got an A and had to read it to the class.

The Higginbotham family, quite poor, bought the worst tree of all time- the entire story was narrated by the tree.

I was quite surprised years later to see the same thing on T.V.

The story of the girl who wins a Christmas tree, but her father won't let her have it because his wife died on Christmas, so, in tears, she gives the tree to a very poor family who can't afford one?
