Doug is a tree who is fifty years old and over eighty feet tall.
He has spent all of his life in a Christmas tree farm, surrounded
by other trees that he calls friends. One day, however, a man named
Dave arrives, and things change for Doug. He is cut down and tied
to a big truck, and so his journey begins.
Doug passes through deserts and through cities made of cement.
He wonders where all the trees have gone, and he fears being made
into firewood. But Dave takes him to New York City, where they set
him up straight and cover him in twinkling Christmas lights. As he
stands there, he wonders why the humans seem so very sad in New
York.
This is the first Christmas since the tragedy of 9/11. So many
lives were lost, and people have not had time to heal. Some think
Christmas will never be the same. Can Doug bring the Christmas
spirit back to a broken people and help to heal their hearts? The
magic of a Christmas tree can spread far and wide, and with Doug's
help, maybe Christmas can be joyful again.
