Christmas Tree

A popular tradition associated with the celebration of Christmas is the decoration of a Christmas Tree with Christmas lights and bright colorful ornaments like candies, small toys, sparkling balls, glass ornaments, apples, berries etc. An angel or a star is often placed at the top of the tree.

It is said that the German Christians were the first ones to bring the Christmas tree to their homes and decorate it. The most commonly used natural Christmas trees are the fir. The Arizona Cypress, Balsam Fir, Colorado Blue Spruce, Canaan Fir, Doughlas Fir, Siver Fir and Red Fir are the most popularly used ones.
