Christmas Traditions Current and Lost
Christmas Trees
The Christmas tree, with its bright lights and pine scent, is a beloved holiday tradition. Its roots go back to ancient winter festivals in northern Europe, where evergreen branches symbolized life and hope during dark months. By the 1500s in Germany, families decorated trees with candles and fruits, representing everlasting life and Christ’s light. German immigrants brought this custom to America, where it became a cherished holiday staple. Today, Christmas trees are about gathering and creating memories, whether in a town square or a cozy living room, bringing joy and warmth to winter.
