CHRISTMAS TREES
According to Earl, the roving web wander of Yahooligans.com, the web guide for kids, people put up Christmas trees because—
Since before Christmas existed, people used
plants that stay green all year to decorate their homes in the winter.
Hanging evergreen boughs over a door was a reminder of springtime during the
cold, dark winter. But it wasn't until the 16th century in Germany that
Christians started using trees as decorations around Christmas. German
settlers in Pennsylvania brought the first Christmas trees to America in the
late 1700s, but they weren't common until after 1834. That's when Prince Albert,
the German husband of Britain's Queen Victoria, first brought a Christmas
tree to Windsor Castle. The royal family was very popular, so many people
wanted to have a Christmas tree like the royals—even Americans! The
idea stuck, and people have decorated trees at Christmas ever since.
