A Green Christmas is the title Of a
Christmas poem that came from the
pen of Edwin T. Reed, who enjoys the
mild winters Of central Oregon. The
poem describes the beauties of the
Christmas season where apples still
hang upon the tree, n flowers are
In bloom. The first stanza Of the poem
is suggestive Of the whole.
The hills are white with clinging mist,
The clouds are blowing far;
BY day a wayward shaft of sun;
BY night, a fleeting star;
But intervening wales are green,
And free the river flows,
While every fair chrySanthemum
Is nodding to the rose.
