??? Oh well ..... Ah, the Christmas tree. A time-honored tradition that dates all the way back to 16th century Northern Germany, where towns would decorate a spruce in the market square. Pastor Balthasar Russow wrote of the young men and women who 'first sang and danced there and then set the tree aflame.' Probably this meant set candles on the tree aflame, though setting the tree on fire can be what one feels like after a day spent lugging it in the house, digging the boxes of ornaments out of the attic and untangling the strings of lights. I reckon most of us have done this by now, but if you haven't, today is the day
If you don't have a tree up yet (like me) maybe this will encourage you to not bother Christmas tree fire
No tree as yet, we'll be buying the last mangy tree available probably. Christmas is way too hectic to be tree doing at the moment.
Done and dusted i used to love going to fetch a real tree but they are too much hassle nowadays , fake tree for us
