    FROM SARAH:

    For anyone wondering just how the tradition of the Christmas tree became so widespread... wonder no longer. A darling picture book, worth getting your hands on!

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    Queen Charlotte brought her family's festive holiday yule bough from Germany to England. While planning a Christmas Day party in 1800 at Windsor Castle for over 100 children, she realized a single bough isn't enough. So she brought in the whole tree instead, making it the first known Christmas Tree in England. This story tells a little known fact about a favorite holiday tradition.
