"Buy a Christmas Tree Day"
Christmas Tree History:
Did a celebration around a Christmas tree on a
bitter cold Christmas Eve at Trenton, New Jersey, turn the tide
for Colonial forces in 1776? According to legend, Hessian
mercenaries were so reminded of home by a candlelit evergreen
tree that they abandoned their guardposts to eat, drink and be
merry. Washington attached that night and defeated them. Some
historians trace the lighted Christmas tree to Martin Luther. He
attached lighted candles to a small evergreen tree, trying to
simulate the reflections of the starlit heaven -- the heaven
that looked down over Bethlehem on the first Christmas Eve.
The Christmas tree is a symbol of a living Christmas spirit and
brings into our lives a pleasant aroma of the forest. Written by:
