Tree

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.
