On the 12th day of Christmas♣
Sonntag, 12. Dezember 2010 / 05:36

I am going to describe a certain thing that a lot of families have in their home during Christmas. It is green, and decorated, and you put presents under it. You probably know that I am talking about Christmas trees. But why do we have Christmas trees? Why do we go to to the forest, look for a nice, bring it to our house and decorate it?

I heard that people started doing that in Germany and in Livonia in the 16th century. People believed that plants that were always green like spruce and pines is a lot of life and power, so they thought that by bringing it into the house, it will bring them healthiness, and it reminded them that spring will come after the cold winter.

Today we decorate it with a lot of things, like Christmas lights (originally candles), ornaments, garlands, tinsel, candy canes, angels and other shapes. It looks really nice.
