Christmas activities: The Tree from a "Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote

As part of our year ritual of encouraging students to read during the season holidays, we have decided to choose four Xmas topics to work on:  The Xmas Tree, Xmas Dinner, Xmas presents and Carol Singing; therefore we have found some stories to read which contain each of the topics.  From "A Christmas Memory" by American contemporary writer, Truman Capote, we have a vivid description of what was cutting a tree and putting it up.
