Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 This is a wonderful story! I've never heard it before. Thank you for passing it along. LEGEND ON THE CHRISTMAS BUTTERFLY On a cold Christmas Eve a long time ago, a small child was admiring her Christmas tree. the fragrant tree had no ornaments, yet she was thankful her poor family had been given one to celebrate the holiday. She fashioned a small star from scraps of paper to adorn the very tip of the tree. Unbeknownst to her, tiny cocoons hid among the feathery branches and when the child went to sleep that night, magical things began to happen. In the warm surroundings the cocoons awoke to reveal their bodies of crystal and wings of gold. Hundreds of butterflies emerged and fluttered with their shimmering wings landing on the branches. The child awoke to this surprising sight with giggles of joy. This reminds us that when we are thankful for what we have we will be blessed even more!
