“O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches! O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, How lovely are thy branches!”

The lyrics to “O Christmas Tree” can vary slightly as there are different versions and translations of the song. The song has its origins in Germany, where it was originally written in German as “O Tannenbaum.”

The English version, “O Christmas Tree,” has been translated and adapted by various authors over the years, leading to some variations in the lyrics. Additionally, different singers and performers may choose to sing slightly different versions of the song.

If you’ve come across different lyrics, it could be due to regional variations, translations, or adaptations made by different artists. The core theme of the song, celebrating the beauty of the Christmas tree, remains consistent across versions.

If your young one still feels like singing, add in these fun Mother goose songs.

How to Make Fork Painted Christmas Tree Craft

Position your cardstock paper vertically and draw a Christmas tree trunk at the bottom with a brown marker.

On a paper plate, pour a small amount of green paint. Dip the fork into the paint, ensuring full coverage on the bottom portion of the fork. Starting at the bottom of the tree, press the fork onto the paper, rolling it gently back and forth for a fork print. Repeat, working your way up with the fork points facing down to create branches and then let it dry.

Once dry, glue a pom-pom on top for the star. Apply glue dots around the tree and place confetti on them.
