Christmas tree
It is usually decorated on Christmas Eve or on 23 December.
Once these were the ornamented sheaves of hay or branches.
Then the custom of bringing decorated trees into houses
came to other Christian countries from Germany.
Christmas decorations should be connected with symbols of
Christmas, and on its top people hang a big bauble.
Once these were apples, now we have glass baubles.
The green tree is the symbol of the Saviour’s birth.
We can turn on the fairy light
when the first star is in the sky.
