why christmas trees are decorated

The tradition of decorating Christmas trees dates back to the Middle Ages when Christians would bring evergreens indoors during the holiday season. The evergreens represented eternal life and were thought to symbolize the rebirth of Jesus Christ. The decorations we use today, such as lights and ornaments, were added over time to make the trees more festive and colorful. Today, the tradition of decorating Christmas trees is a beloved part of the holiday season for people around the world.
