the Popcorn Tree

 Elora was right. They were headed for Nick and Nora's cottage.
Nora had already taken their Christmas tree out, and stood it in the snow.   Hans was there too.

"Wow!  Look at all the birds!"

"Yes, they love it when I put the popcorn and cranberries out for them..."

"If you take some, and put out your hand, they will even come eat out of your hand..."

So Elora held out some popcorn, and a bird came and sat on her hand right away..

"Look Mom!!"

She was so thrilled to have the little birds come eat out of her hand....

This had truly been the very best Christmas ever.

...and so we finally come to the end.
I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did putting it together.
