Here is a sweet little story with a historical side.
Did you know that the Christmas tree that appears in London's Trafalgar Square has been a yearly gift from Norway since 1947? The reason: the tree tradition is the Norwegian people's thank-you for British support during World War II.
This year's tree has just been lit, with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg pulling the switch.
