O Tannenbaum!

"Zane, we've decided it's time to take down the tree."

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"No . . .

. . . pease?!" [please]

"Vanessa, we need to take down the tree. It's dry and messy and dangerous."

"Mom . . . I wish we didn't have to."

 

How often has the Christmas tree

Afforded me the greatest glee!

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! 

Much pleasure thou can'st give me . . .

. . . Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.

~one English version of O Christmas Tree!
