The Christmas tree is of German origin. The tree was brought into the home
for good luck and fertility. The white pine was chosen as the Christmas tree because it had
limbs far apart for easy decorating with sweetmeats, almonds and fruits. The tree was illuminated
with small wax candles, and toys were placed on the tree limbs. This was the original way in
which presents were displayed on Christmas morning.
