Tonight's story takes place in our home, a place called Prince Edward Island — a small, beautiful island off the eastern coast of Canada, with soil as red as rust, and where the summers smell like clover and salt air, and the roads wind through meadows so green they almost don't look real. A woman named Lucy Maud Montgomery grew up here, and she spent her whole life writing stories about it — stories full of curious children, quiet mysteries, and long golden afternoons that feel like they might last forever.

Tonight's story features our home Prince Edward Island. The children in this story have come up with a wonderful idea. They're going to write down their dreams. Every one. In exercise books, with careful spelling, in case someone reads them someday. They sit together in the orchard and the spruce wood, eating plums, watching clouds drift over the harvest hills, telling stories and arguing about apple varieties and wondering what their dreams might be made of.

The kind of afternoon, in other words, that is absolutely perfect for making things. A girl named Victoria has been waiting for a day exactly like this. She has cloth and paint and scissors and paper and a very important sketchbook with a cover she decorated herself. She has a plan. A good one.

In tonight's story, we're sharing an old classic that first appeared in 1850, written by the famous author Charles Dickens. Dickens is known for many wonderful works, including A Christmas Carol, and his stories often capture the magic and spirit of the holidays. This story, called A Christmas Tree, takes us on a journey through Christmas memories filled with imagination and the joy of togetherness. While the original story is quite long and written in the style of its time, we've adapted it to be shorter and more accessible for bedtime.
