Once there was a Christmas tree that loved to shine bright. The tree had lots of lights, garlands and a big red bow at the top. One day, it heard that Santa Claus was coming down the chimney to deliver presents. The tree was so excited! But when Santa arrived, he realized he had forgotten one present. It was a special sock filled with lollipops for a little boy named Timmy.

The tree quickly hatched a plan and decorated itself with the sock and lollipops. When Timmy saw the tree, he was so happy. He ran over and gave it a big hug. Suddenly, the tree started to glow even brighter and a snowflake shaped candle appeared on its branch. Timmy was amazed and thanked the tree for making his Christmas so special.

And that's how the Christmas tree became the shining star of Timmy's holiday. The end.
