The Christmas tree is typically an evergreen tree, such as a pine or fir. These trees are chosen for their lasting beauty and ability to stand firm throughout the holiday season. The tree represents the spirit of Christmas and holds within it a kind of enchantment that goes beyond just decoration. It is believed to have the power to grant wishes, especially on Christmas Eve, when it is said that if a wish is made with a pure heart, the tree will help bring it to life.
