It celebrates a special tradition that stretches back over      seventy years. Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway presents      the British people with a spectacular Christmas tree. The tree      is a symbol of peace and friendship, and a thank you for the UK's      support during World War II.    Each year, the UK Poetry Society      asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson      originally wrote The Christmas Pine to celebrate the      2020 Christmas tree. The poem was performed by London schoolchildren,      and displayed in Trafalgar Square.    Julia Donaldson is      the author of many of the best-loved children's books ever written.
