A beautifully decorated evergreen tree with coloured lights has become one of the most beloved symbols of Christmas.
The tradition of a festival tree has been around since ancient times and has played an important part in winter celebrations for many centuries.
An evergreen tree was considered a reminder of the fact that the darkness and cold of winter would end and the green of spring would return.
The tradition of decorating the Christmas tree spread all over Europe and the United States of America.
