DID YOU KNOW?
- In 16th Century Germany, at Christmas time, people decorated fir trees with fruit and nuts – and later sweets, paper shapes and candles. Historians think the origins of Christmas trees may date back to the Romans and Ancient Egyptians, who used evergreen plants and garlands as symbols of everlasting life.
- In 1644, Christmas celebrations were made illegal in England, and soon after, in the English Colonies in America. Members of the government felt that the religious meaning of Christmas had been forgotten. It took almost 20 years later for Christmas to be legal again.
