Christmas Tree History 2



 English Traditions

 In England the Royal family adopted the celebration of Christmas with a tree around 1840 , but it took awhile before the common people also did so. The Royal family not only used lights to decorate the tree but also used candies, gingerbread men, and fruit. Later the common people joined in.

Tradition in America

In America, a Christmas tree hadn’t been used until Germans immigrated in the early 1800s and brought the tradition with them. Americans at first thought using a Christmas tree was a pagan tradition and didn’t want the tree as part of the Christmas celebration, but by the end of the 1800’s most Americas followed suit.
