Interesting tradition killing a tree and bringing it into the house for a week or two.
The History of Christmas Trees
A Christmas Tree with gold baubles
The evergreen fir tree has traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pagans used branches of it to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, as it made them think of the spring to come. The Romans used Fir Trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. Christians use it as a sign of everlasting life with God.

Does it make you feel better knowing that I plant 10 more for each tree I take down?
I have a tradition to uphold!
