Decorating the Christmas Tree – An Age-Old Tradition Everyone Enjoys

Adorning the ‘Christmas Tree’ with ornaments is a custom that is followed by Christians all over the world. The significance dates back to centuries ago when Christians used to adorn the leaveless winter trees outside their home. They believed when the leaves shed from the tree, the tree’s ‘spirit’ leaves it and as a result, the tree does not survive anymore. Therefore the Christians began to adorn the trees with attractive ornaments to allure the spirits into the trees’. This is one of the reasons for decorating the Christmas tree.
