Oh, whats that? you don't care. Okay then, I'll make it something nobody cares about but always wonders. Where do christmas ornaments and tree's come from? Well it starts way back when, in Germany 16th century. Germany was credited with creating the christmas tree tradition when devout Christians would bring decorated tree's into their homes. If tree's were scarce, then they would decorate wood pyramids with evergreens and candles! Should I keep going? Oh, it's neat you say, okay...MORE! Okay, where were we? Oh, yes decorating tree's/log's. The decorated tree became more and more popular in Europe and got the name the christmas tree. Believe it or not in England price Edward, enjoyed making christmas tree's very "fashionable". well everything went downhill from there, and the christmas tree caught on. If you want to know more, I'll put a link. Don't know where, but I will...Despite the fact that nobody's reading this! okay, right here! |
