why do we have christmas trees for christmas

The tradition of decorating Christmas trees dates back to the mid-19th century. It is believed that the practice originated in Germany, where the tree was adorned with apples, nuts, and other treats. As the practice spread to other parts of the world, it was transformed into a tradition of decorating trees with lights and ornaments. The tree has since become a central symbol of the holiday season, representing the spirit of giving and joy that is the essence of Christmas.
