Christmas Tree

The Christmas tree, just like Santa Claus, is a very well known and cherished symbol of Christmas worldwide. Every year, during Christmas, people bring home an evergreen and decorate it with candles, bells, ribbons, tinsel, popcorn strings and candy canes. This tradition of a Christmas tree began in Germany long long ago. Then, it eventually spread throughout Europe, and in 1841, the English royal family brought in the first Christmas tree at Windsor Castle. This further popularized the practice. The tradition of a Christmas tree took hold in the United States when Calvin Coolidge lit the first Christmas tree at the White House in 1923. It’s now more than common to decorate an evergreen on Christmas! The President of America lights the National Christmas Tree in Washington every year to start off the festivities.

You get your own Christmas tree home too! Don’t pass up this joy of having an evergreen home and decking it up together with friends or folks. Aren’t you feeling the Christmas chill already? Don’t you want to rev up your holidays with a warm Christmas tree standing pretty at one corner of your hall? The glowing stars, the snowflakes resting softly on your shoulders, the warm smell of gingerbreads, the twinkling lights everywhere—aren’t they ringing a bell? They sure do! For, the holidays are here! So get into the Christmas groove with fun and warmth, share the joy with the ones you hold close, send Season's Greetings to all far and near and ginger up to deck up the Christmas tree in all its seasonal glory!
