On a faraway hilltop, overlooking a town, sits a lively forest abundant with lush trees, wildflowers and friendly critters. Each winter the townsfolk comb the forest far and wide for the most beautiful tree to grace their home on Christmas. One special blue spruce dreams of one day being chosen to share in the joy of the season, being witness to the love of family. However, in providing critters of the forest with refuge from cold and a soft bed to sleep on, his branches have become bent and broken and he is passed by until one day a little girl arrives who sees his true beauty.
