A Christmas tree is one of the most popular traditions associated with the celebration of Christmas. It is normally an evergreen coniferous tree that is brought into a home or used in the open, and is decorated with Christmas lights and colourful ornaments during the days around Christmas.
Dates
Traditionally, Christmas trees were not brought in and decorated until Christmas Eve (24 December), and then removed the day after twelfth night (i.e., 6 January); to have a tree up before or after these dates was even considered bad luck. Modern commercialisation of Christmas has however resulted in trees being put up much earlier; in shops often as early as late October. A common tradition in U.S. homes is to put the tree up right after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November) and to take it down right after the New Year . In more northern climates and into Canada, the tree (if not too dry) and other decorations are left up well into January . In Europe, private Christmas trees are not usually put up until at least the middle of December and are usually taken down by the 6th of January . In Germany, Catholics take their Christmas trees down by the 2nd of February .
Types of trees used
Both natural and artificial trees are used as Christmas trees. More on [ Christmas tree ]
