Legend has it that, a long time ago, on a Christmas Eve, a poor woodcutter was on his way home when he met a child lost and lost because of hunger. Although he was very poor, he gave him a little food and gave him a good night's sleep.

The next morning, when he woke up, the woodcutter saw a beautiful pine tree outside the door. At that time, he learned that the child was God disguised and gave him a pine tree to reward his kindness and kindness.

According to another story, in the 8th century, St. Boniface, an English missionary, went to Germany to spread Christianity and gave the city of Geismar a symbol of love and new faith. When the Germans accepted Christianity, they chose pine trees as Christmas icons to remember St. Boniface .

Many others said, on his pilgrimage to Germany, St. Boniface stumbled upon a group of people gathered around a large oak tree, using a child to sacrifice. To stop the sacrifice and save the child, Boniface took down the oak tree with just one punch. There was a small pine tree at that place. The saint told the group that the small pine tree is the tree of life and it represents the eternal life of Christ.

However, it was not until the 16th century that the custom of Christmas tree decorations was popular in Germany. And Germany is considered to be the first country in Europe to have the custom of placing pine trees on Christmas day.

In the middle of the nineteenth century, Christmas trees began to become popular in England. The merit belongs to Prince Albert and Queen Victoria. In 1841, the Royal couple decorated the first Christmas tree of England in candle-lit Windsor Castle with lots of candies and fruits. After that, many wealthy families in the UK followed suit. Finally, Christmas customs are not only popular in the UK but also throughout the colonial regions of England and even new lands like Canada.

The Christmas tree first appeared in the US in the 1830s when German immigrants in Pennsylvania often brought Christmas trees into church donations. At first, most Americans considered Christmas trees a strange thing. However, in the 1890s many decorations began to be imported from Germany into the United States and from there Christmas trees became popular in Canada and the United States.
