CHRISTMAS IN SCANDINAVIA


Luxurious white porcelain in tiny architectural forms, hung on sterling silver pins and tied with loops and bows of crisp white paper twine. Find them at poast.no.


O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
How lovely are your branches?
In beauty green will always grow
Through summer sun and winter snow
O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
How lovely are your branches!

O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
You are the tree most loved!
How often you give us delight
In brightly shining Christmas light!
O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
You are the tree most loved!

O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
Your beauty green will teach me
That hope and love will ever be
The way to joy and peace for me.
O, Christmas tree! O, Christmas tree!
Your beauty green will teach me.

(An English version of the old German Christmas carol, "O Tannenbaum!")
