“Did you ever see a “Birds’ Christmas Tree”? If you ever go to Norway, you will see many of them. I spent one winter there, and I saw a sheaf of grain on the roof of nearly every barn. The sheaf was tied to the top of a tall pole. I was told that these sheaves of grain are always put up at Christmas for the birds. Each year the old sheaf is taken down, and a fresh one is put up in its place. Is it not a pretty custom to give the birds a Christmas tree?”
