The Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree – Adapted from the Romanian Poem “Bradul”

by A.C. Stranger (Mamica Creativa)

The Christmas Tree is the English adaptation of the beloved Romanian poem „Bradul”, written by A.C. Stranger (me - Mamica Creativa). This gentle winter piece captures the magic of Christmas Eve through the eyes of a dreaming tree — resting beneath falling snow, waiting for Santa’s arrival, and glowing proudly under its shining star.

The poem keeps the heart of the original Romanian version: the quiet anticipation, the warmth of holiday lights, and the tender bond between a child and the Christmas tree. Each stanza flows with soft rhythm and festive imagery, making it perfect for bedtime reading, classroom storytelling, or cozy family traditions.

With its playful tone and bright, musical cadence, The Christmas Tree brings Romanian Christmas charm to an international audience — preserving the soul of the original while offering a fresh, lyrical English voice.
