The pun in the Christmas carol "Oh Christmas Tree" is the play on words with "tree" sounding like "three," which leads to the line "Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches!" It's a simple and fun wordplay that adds a light-hearted touch to the song.

the three gospels
The Christmas Carol was written by Charles Dickens. The three ghosts were named Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
The exact words are, "he hoped the people saw him in the church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk, and blind men see."
Dicken's uses the term "staves" to mark the chapters of A Christmas Carol (published in 1843), but does not do so for any or his other books. The term is based on the book's title. Since a Christmas carol is a song, he names its divisions "staves", using a musical term meaning "verse" or "stanza" of a song.(A related, but not identical use of the term "stave" - singular now usually "staff" - is found in musical notation, to refer to one set of lines on which musical notes are written.)Note that Dickens used a similar device to denote the divisions of his next two Christmas books: the divisions of The Chimes (1844) are "Quarters" after the quarter-hour sounding of clock chimes; The Cricket on the Hearth (1845) is divided into "Chirps".
