As Christmas gets closer and closer, and the magic continues to build, children tend to get more and more excited. Channeling that energy and allowing it to open up new traditions has led many families to create a new tradition that connects with nature and offers something simple and enduring for children to share with the world around them. The Night Tree tradition is based on a beloved children’s book, The Night Tree, written by children's author, Eve Bunting. This enduring and sweetly illustrated classic is about a family who every year before Christmas heads to the woods to decorate a tree with food for the birds and animals. They cover this particular tree with berries and seed, carrots and apples. It’s their family's way of celebrating the holidays with nature and giving back to the animals around them.
