Tree stands – You can’t have a Christmas tree without a stand! There are several options available. Look for one that will allow you to place the tree in a bucket of water. A little dish for watering the tree won’t cut it. A healthy tree will drink several quarts of water a day. The best and most stable choices are made from metal. They will last for years many years, and are heavy enough to keep even large trees from toppling over.

Lights – There are lots of good options when it comes to lights. Modern holiday LED (or light emitting diode – for those of you who like trivia) lights are energy efficient, and much cooler and safer than lights from years past. Plus, on quality light strings, a bulb can burn out with out causing the whole string to go out. I’m sure we all remember the holiday chore of trying to find the one burned out bulb on a long string of lights! But keep in mind that even thought these lights work with a burned out bulb, they will NOT work with a missing bulb. So keep the burned out bulb in place until you have a replacement.

Christmas Tree History

Like most of our Christmas traditions, Christmas trees began in Germany. Legend has it that Saint Boniface, who converted the people of Germany to Christianity, became angry when he encountered a group of pagans at an oak tree worshiping. He angrily cut down the tree. He was surprised to see a fir tree spring up from the roots of the oak, and took it as a Christian sign.

According to ChristmasArchives.com The fir tree eventually became a symbol of Christianity – each side of its triangle shape representing one aspect of the trinity. Trees were first decorated around 1510 in Riga, Latvia. The early, decorated trees were representative of the Garden of Eden paradise. They were decorated with food, representing prosperity, and flowers in red for knowledge and white for innocence.
