It is said that around sixteenth Century， the German evergreen pine branches to the furnishings in the house， and later， the German missionary Martin Ruud put the candle on the fir tree in the woods， and then lit， it looks like to guide people to the Bethlehem stars， like two thousand years ago， the three Magi found Jesus in accordance with the stars in general。 Today， people have used small light bulbs instead of candles。
A long time ago， a farmer， met a poor child on Christmas day， he received a child， the child when he left pine root ed in the ground and immediately turned into a pine tree， hung above a gift to farmers in return for the kindness。
However， the Christmas tree really appeared at Christmas， first seen in Germany and then introduced into Europe and the United States as an indispensable ornament for Christmas。 They usually use colorful lights， wax， gifts or angels to decorate Christmas trees， especially those living in the northwestern part of the United States。 Because of the abundant forest resources， they will choose a real tree as Christmas tree。 The Christmas tree has a wide variety of natural pine and cypress Christmas trees， and artificial Christmas trees and white Christmas trees。 Every Christmas tree is covered with dazzling decorations， but there must be a huge star at the top of every tree。 Its like a star guiding the eastern three doctors to find Jesus。 And in traditional customs， only one owner of the family can hang the star of hope。
Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century， the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times， when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia。 In medieval times the ‘Paradise Play‘ was performed every year on 24 December。 This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation。
There is a legend that St Boniface， an English monk， came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor。 In order to stop the sacrifice， and save the child‘s life， St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist。 Later on， a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this， St Boniface told the pagans， was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child。
Legend also suggests that， in the late 16th century， Martin Luther （the founder of the Protestant religion） was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens。
The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany — a country with a long Christmas tree history！ The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars。 German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree。
Tinsel was also invennted in Germany in about 1610。 Up until fairly recently real silver was used， which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines。 This was durable but tarnished quickly and mmany experiments took place to try and find an alternative — including a mix off lead and tin， which was too heavy and kept breaking。 It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found。
Artificial trees were invented in the 1880‘s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees， thus preventing the trees from growing any further。 It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree。
Prince Albert， husband of Queen Victoria， is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles， sweets， fruit and gingerbread。
The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century， with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells， baubles and tinsel。 However， the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small， artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations。 These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer！
This all changed following the war， and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas。 The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square， London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war。
Christmas is a time for miracles。It is also a time when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to a spiritual awakening。Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas。
Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders， Belgium， at the dawn of World War I。 On December 24th ，1914， German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no man’s land lying between them。 Suddenly， the silence was broken， not by gunfire， but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position。 It wasn’t long before the English troops responded with a Yuletide hymn of their own。 Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers。 A German soldier holding a small tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines。 This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of a truce followed by English and German troops greeting one another， exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas。 Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides。
On Christmas Day， both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields。 However， on Christmas Eve 1914 on a field in Flanders， there was Peace on Earth。
Christmas is a truly amazing phenomenon。 The day and season perpetuate a miraculous， historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough， cruel， and egotistical creature — the human being — to become open and amenable to their Creator’s vision。 The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts， moral honesty， and in the spiritual awareness of millioons struggling to lead a life of grace。
