The Story of the Christmas Tree:

"The holidays are here!" Nothing says it better than the arrival of the Christmas tree. It's the centerpiece of Christmas decorating and holiday entertaining. It doesn't matter if we bring a Christmas tree home from the supermarket or pull it out of the dusty box from the back of the closet. We decorate the Christmas tree with sentimental ornaments. We place beautifully wrapped gifts for loved ones under the Christmas tree. We illuminate it with hundreds of Christmas tree lights. Then, after that last ornament has been hung, we sit back in a darkened room and admire the Christmas tree's comforting glow, remembering Christmases past.

Have you every wondered how it all started? How the decorated Christmas tree became the enduring symbol of the holiday season?
