Saint Nick and the Fir Tree
a Christmas tale for grown-ups who haven’t forgotten the magic
Available in both E-book and Print
It’s the day after Christmas and Saint Nick’s on vacation.
His first stop: the little town of Greenwood, where he meets a most unusual Tree. Nick and the Tree go out on the town, but a freak snowstorm brings their festivities to an unexpected conclusion.
Praise for “Saint Nick and the Fir Tree”
“What a delightful tale of a deeply-rooted yew tree who longs to be a fir and is taken by St. Nicholas on a post-Christmas holiday, complete with sunglasses to disguise his treedentity.
This charming story by Nancy Adams is a perfect antidote to the after-Christmas blues, and it’s easy to root for the little tree taking its first draft of Ent juice. This particular Santa does swear a bit (“what the holly did I fall over?”), but he can’t help bestowing unexpected gifts in unexpected places.
And as for the little tree, whose greatest fear is an ax murderer (shudder), he learns a few happy lessons along the way.
Come to think of it, this story is also an antidote to the pre-Christmas blues. If you’re feeling a bit frantic, take a little jaunt with St. Nick and the Fir Tree.”

“At this time of year, we become more and more frantic as Christmas approaches and it’s a pleasure when we find a few moments to just relax and enjoy the season. What better way to spend those few moments than reading—perhaps aloud to family and friends—such a charming tale as this? Saint Nick and the Fir Tree is the perfect little story to get one in the proper mood for the holidays.”

“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go drinking with Santa Claus? Well now you can find out in Saint Nick And The Fir Tree. This is a short story by Nancy Adams and I thought it was great. I can’t give too much away but if you want to read short funny story with maybe a little bit of murder… I would definitely recommend it!”–Recommended: 16+

“With ‘Saint Nick and the Fir Tree’ Nancy Adams gives us a fun, quirky, different take on how a tree celebrates Christmas. Not with lots of tinsel but lots of magic! A good, short read for the holidays.”
