All the other trees made fun of him being too small to become anyone’s yuletide centrepiece. The plot of Christopher the Christmas Tree is as follows: A tiny Christmas Tree named Christopher, who lived on a tree farm in Hidden Hollow, longed to become someone’s Christmas Tree. In retrospect, it’s amusing, but gosh was it a bother at the time.īut for whatever reason - be it the endless taunting, or the association with my name - this special stuck with me… I was the only person in my class with the name “Christopher,” so for a solid week, everyone came up to me and sang the “Christopher the Christmas Tree” song. I was at my grandparents’ house, and was really rather excited when the announcer said, “coming up next, Christopher the Christmas Tree.” I was all like, “My name is Christopher! This has got to be good!”Īnd then I watched a half-hour special about a tree that wants to die. It was the mid nineties, and the special premiered on YTV. I actually remember the very night I first saw Christopher the Christmas Tree. Most of the classic Christmas specials herald from the land to the south, but there’s one I’ve held a…special place for in my heart for just shy of 20 years, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s Canadian. Given the yuletidy nature of the season, I ought to deliver a special In Retrospective to you all.

We here at POLARGRIZZ aspire to the same foolhardy diligence, and vow to plough through this winter with all of the best Canadiana we have to offer. Happy Holidays and a Very Merry Christmas to you, our faithful followers! I know it may seem atypical for a bear to be out and about in the dead of winter, instead of hibernating, but The POLARGRIZZ Bear breathes fire to keep himself warm, and thus does not need to shut down during the colder months.
