The Christmas tree is a festive symbol traditionally decorated with lights, ornaments, and tinsel during the Christmas season. Its origins trace back to 16th-century Germany, where devout Christians brought evergreen trees into their homes and adorned them with candles to symbolize eternal life and hope in the dark winter. The practice spread throughout Europe and became popular in England during the 19th century, particularly after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert displayed a decorated tree at Windsor Castle. Introduced to America by German immigrants, the Christmas tree has since become a universal emblem of holiday joy, unity, and celebration around the world.
