"The Morning Was Damp And We Were Feeling Christmas In The Air, Seeing And Smelling It In The Trees, As Our Feet Crunched Across New Snow To Where A Wire Fence Stood Between Our Fields And The Railway Tracks. It Was There We Saw A Fir Tree Standing, More Beautiful Than Any I Can Remember. Its Limbs Were Full, Well Shaped And Scented, And It Stood Proud And Tall As Though Waiting For Us."
