Christmas Trees
"Christmas Trees" is a poem by Robert Frost in which a rural farmer is visited by a city man hoping to buy his young fir balsams for the holiday market. What begins as a casual negotiation quietly deepens into a meditation on value, pride, and the things we cannot put a price on. When the buyer offers just thirty dollars for a thousand trees, the farmer's resolve crystallises — and his final gesture transforms the poem into something unexpectedly warm and personal.
