The Memory Tree by Fred Neff

The Memory Tree recounts some actual events from Christmas 2007. The storyline, told in first person through the eyes of a toddler, features young Calvin, who delights in riding in Dad’s pickup truck to Big Jim’s Farm in search of two trees, a tall one for the house and a short one to be planted in the back yard, called a memory tree. As a toddler, he is quite the humorous helper, and together, Calvin and Dad transform this Christmas, because of a memory tree, into a tradition they will recapture for years to come.
