Trimming the tree is a tradition
•
Of all the preparations
for Christmas, probably
one of the most delightful
is the trimming of the tree.
How did this charming
custom begin? Some sug-
gest that the tradition
dates back to pre-Chris-
tian beliefs in the magical
powers of evergreens. The
ancient Romans, for in-
stance, decorated their
homes with greenery for
the festival of Saturn, or
Saturnalia. This impprtant
feast was celebratea dur-
ing December.
The association of trees
with Christmas became
defined during the Middle
Ages, when miracle plays
were performed, often in
church, to teach stories
from the Bible.
In the miracle plays, an
evergreen tree was used to
depict the Garden of
Eden, with apples hting
from the boughs to sym-
bolize the forbidden fruit
eaten by Adam and Eve,
Although the miracle
plays gradually fell into
disuse, the evergreen tree
remained as part of the
holiday tradition in Eu-
rope. Cookies were added
to the apples, and yet
another form of decora-
tion was borrowed from
"pyramid trees" that were
also poputar during the
sixteenth century: candles,
In the 18th century,
sugartrees, trees trimmed
with sweet meats, were.
Hope your
holidays are
sensational!

and fruits gradually
evolved into Victorian
glass shapes, precursors of
today's ornaments,
