The Little Fir and the Christmas Tree Angel
This heartwarming story for all ages is based on a true event that happened in the first Great Depression. When the Christmas Tree Angel comes to the tree farm to announce that some trees will be taken to the city to bring joy to families there, a straggly little tree yearns to be chosen. But in the city, no one selects her, and she falls into deep despair. But on Christmas eve, a woman enters the lot just as the man is about to close it….and something wondrous begins.
Watch the video to see what unfolds. Let your heart be touched by the beauty and miracles of love. This is our 2020 gift to all. From the story illustrator Janaia Donaldson and video editor Robin Mallgren, host and producer of Peak Moment Television, @peakmoment. Visit www.peakmoment.tv

    5:20 you can digest plant proteins just google it, vitamin a can be gotten from beta carotene(a sweet potato has like over 300% vitamin a according to the label), masai and inuit have heart disease look up t colin campbell and masai. There is an article. Vitamin d is almost entirely gotten from sunlight. It's like 90% is from sunlight. Vitamin k is abundant in plants and bacteria turns it into k2 i believe. Just google the lady and debunked or something and youll probably find some decent videos. The high amounts of vitamins and minerals is good. You should eat a bunch of veggies, sweet potatos daily, starches, and fruit. You'll be good

    She's delusional. Going vegan will actually reduce agriculture because majority of produce goes on to feed cattle and per calorie basis meat production takes ludicrously larger amount of land, and water and feeds fewer people. Cattle also releases more greenhouse gasses than fossil fuel combustion. Going vegan will solve world hunger and global warming.

    Scientific study after scientific study shows that a plant-based diet is healthier than an omnivore diet with animal foods. The classic study was one that followed 97,000 Adventists over their lifetimes. They were grouped into 5 categories based on their diets: 1)Omnivores, 2)semi-vegetarians, 3) pescetarians (ate fish), 4) Lacto-ovo-vegetarians, and 5) vegans. Health outcomes were markedly different with the highest longevity, lowest mortality, and lowest chronic illnesses exhibited by the vegans. Health outcomes worsened as you moved toward the omnivore group. Ms. Keith simply doesn't know what she is talking about. ua-cam.com/video/oMuxgAbHgJA/v-deo.html
