Festive airship story!

So, I was on a break from slavishly working, Bob Cratchit style, on Christmas Eve, and I glanced through an issue of Smithsonian magazine that someone had left in the break room. They had an article about the Graf Zeppelin on Christmas. One of her regular missions was to transport Tannenbaums and Frohliche Weinachten to ze Germans who had settled in south America. It took the airship only four days to cross the Atlantic, and letters sent on her bore a special, and adorable, stamp.
It's a Christmas tree with a dirigible flying behind it! >D

If I had an airship, I would have a Christmas tree in the ballroom (yes it would have a ballroom).
