Trimming the Tree
Decorating the Christmas tree is a tradition
that took root in Germany in the 16th century
and has lived on to today. The practice’s
origins are even associated with Martin
Luther, a prominent leader of protestant
reform, who was believed to have been the
first to decorate a tree with warm candlelight.
Queen Victoria’s husband from Germany
brought the tradition to England and it
spread like wildfire thoughout Great Britain
and America. Join this young Victorian
woman as she trims her tree with glass
ornaments, tinsel, and glowing candles!
