    Christmas trees bring joy and delight to families all over the world. Everyone has memories of a magnificent family Christmas tree or one of the huge trees towering in the square in his or her hometown. There’s even a Christmas tree at the White House! 
Scrubby, a little pine tree at the Christmas tree farm, knows he will never get to go to the White House or any other special place. He isn’t a Fraser fir or a Colorado blue spruce. He’s just a scrub pine. He’s so little and scrawny that no family would ever pick him for their tree. Although King, the crow, assures him that he has his own special purpose, Scrubby can’t block out the jeers of the other trees. Maybe they’re right. Maybe he is useless. 
But Scrubby’s friends—Kels, the ladybug, and Hunter, the farmer’s son—see that he is special after all. In this holiday story, the two show Scrubby that he doesn’t have to be like all the other trees to be special. It’s his unique qualities that will make people take notice. When Scrubby receives some very important visitors, he finally finds his own surprising purpose

    The Short Snorter - A Souvenir...

    Three paths lead away from a quiet resort hotel, but only one takes a young couple into something they never expected to find. Hidden in a forest clearing sits a bright red craft that no one seems particularly alarmed about—least of all the hotel manager, who casually explains that its pilot is currently enjoying a peaceful stay in the lounge. 
What follows is not panic, not invasion, and not a dramatic confrontation. Instead, it is a polite introduction, a handshake, and a signed banknote from another world. The visitor speaks excellent English. He solves crossword puzzles. He carries foreign currency that looks almost familiar—except for the name printed across it. The real tension doesn’t come from flashing lights or military alarms. It comes from a simple question: If someone claims to be from Venus and offers proof, what would you demand to see—and what would you give in return? 
The Short Snorter is a sharp, slyly funny tale about disbelief in an age that prides itself on skepticism. The story never asks whether flying saucers are real. It asks something more uncomfortable: what convinces us that anything is real? As the exchange of money becomes an exchange of pride, suspicion, and justification, one couple must live with a small but nagging uncertainty. Was it a souvenir? A lesson? Or tuition paid for a private demonstration in human nature? 
Charles Einstein was a prolific American writer whose career spanned journalism, fiction, and screenwriting. Though best known for crime novels such as The Bloody Spur and The Only Witness, Einstein also wrote short speculative fiction that blended satire with social observation. His sharp eye for behavior and dialogue gives The Short Snorter its bite. Rather than spectacle, Einstein delivers a carefully controlled situation that exposes how easily curiosity turns into transaction—and how quickly transaction turns into regret.
