Workers Find Cross Inside SoCal Christmas Tree

BURBANK (CBS) ― Maybe people go looking for miracles this time of year, but even if you aren't looking for one sometimes they find you.

Workers were just cutting down Christmas trees at Lucky Plants in Burbank, something they do a lot of this time of year. But unlike every other year, they made what some say is a divine discovery.

While cutting down one 6-foot Noble fir, the store employees and owners got the surprise of their lives!

There, inside the trunk of the Oregon-born and raised tree was a perfectly-formed cross. It looks almost painted on but it is ingrained in the wood.

Perhaps the tree is telling us to "add" more trees instead of cutting them down?

I only accept the REAL Mr. Potatohead. You know, a REAL potato with the head parts all stuck on. And when you put him back in the toy box for a while and get him back out, he's all stinky and moldy and shrivelled up.
