Do you see everywhere around you those beautifully decorated Christmas trees?
This year, we also decorated a Christmas tree at home, pretty early actually and while I was sitting at home and looking at the beautiful lights, those questions raised in my mind: - Why do we actually decorate Christmas tree for Christmas?
- Where does this tradition come from?
- What do Christmas tree have to do with Christmas and Jesus?
- Who decided that it has to be a green fir tree?
- And why do we put all these golden balls and toys on the whole tree?
This is how it came to the real story of the Christmas tree.
Don't forget to leave me a comment with your thoughts and a favorite Christmas tree.
Auf eine schöne Vorweihnachtszeit,
Dilyana
