The Fir Tree​

The Christmas tree is an old Germanic tradition dating back to well before the time of Christ. According to the beliefs of the Nordic tribes, winter, with its shortening days and trees losing their leaves, represented the death of the world, but with the right rituals and sacrifices, it was possible to turn the tide and bring it back to life. So they celebrated Yul, the Festival of Renewal, as soon as the days began to lengthen, which was around Christmas.
