The traditional Western Christmas is derived from the ancient Celts and Saxon cultures . They held "Yula" or "wheel of the year" festival on the winter solstice. This festival involves burning a new log and burning it in 12 hours before the winter solstice. This work represents good luck and prosperous new year.

After that, people replaced burning logs by using green trees to add small candle-shaped lights, and so the Christmas tree was born.

Celts believe that mistletoe is a sexual stimulant. This is why people all over the world today kiss under mistletoe hanging on Christmas trees.
