Is Your Tree Up

Do you have your Christmas tree up??? Some will start before Thanksgiving.. which I think is rushing it and then there others that may put the tree up the night before Christmas which I think is personally a bit late. The Christmas tree to me is something that goes up December 1st and stays up til December 27th or later always down by new years. When do you put your tree up??

Christmas trees are normally always some type of evergreen tree. Whether it be pine or a fir is up to the individual picking out the tree. Another choice is whether the tree one brings home is fresh cut, potted still alive or artificial. When the tree is home it is time to trim it with lights and ornaments While the Christmas tree has meaning with in its branches todays world forgets the meaning

Most homes will host a Christmas tree where all the gifts are kept Ancient Egyptians, Chinese and Hebrew customs all reflect on evergreen trees, wreaths, and garlands symbolize eternal life. Prior to Christian conversion around the world pagans would worship trees in Europeans While many changes occurred after the conversion the Christmas tree is one thing that stayed. However, Scandinavian customs were a bit different in that decorating the house and property with evergreens helped to scare away the Devil In addition Germany had its own custom of placing a tree near the door or inside the house during the midwinter holiday 

West Germany who originated the modern Christmas tree after it appeared in a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve and the "paradise tree" It was a fir tree that was in the play to represent the garden of Eden. On December 24th Germans would set up a tree of Paradise to celebrate the religious feast day of Adam and Eve. The tree would be decorated with wafer cookies, candles to represent the Light of Christ.
