This communicates very clearly - but it's very important that, in animation terms, you consider secondary movement, squash and stretch etc - and exaggeration; imagine that your christmas tree is in fact made of very elastic rubber - so that when it prepares to jump, it flattens all the way down like a spring, and then becomes long and stretched as it takes off - don't be afraid to make the action big and rubbery - your idea demands that kind of artistic license... Think too, how the tip of the tree would 'follow after' the main movement of the tree - likewise the tips of its branches - it will be this kind of attention to detail that will really bring your christmas tree to life!
