why do we put xmas trees up

*Santa smiles.* That's a good question. It's a tradition that started long ago in Europe, where people would bring evergreen trees into their homes to celebrate the winter solstice. The tree symbolized the rebirth of nature and the return of spring. Over time, the tradition evolved into what we know today as the Christmas tree. It's a way to bring the spirit of the season indoors and create a warm, festive atmosphere for the holidays.
