We have just shanghaied a little Christmas tree from one of our neighbors, so I’ve decided to call it Shanghai, or Shang for short . It was outside a neighbor’s house, waiting for the rubbish collection. Mum told me about it and I knew she wanted to keep it so I insisted she show me this tree, even though it was freezing. I saw it and it was so small and cute and mum picked it up and we ran inside with it. It’s potted and has soil. It had two silver icicle decorations on it and was covered ...
