Collection: Traditional Unlit Christmas Trees

The enchantment of Christmas trees has been deeply rooted in the heart of festive celebrations for centuries. Their rich history dates back to times when evergreen trees and tree branches symbolise eternal life and hope during the winter solstice. This category dives deep into the captivating history of Christmas trees and how they've become an indispensable part of our holiday season.

Initially, these trees were decorated with apples and nuts to represent the paradise tree from the story of Adam and Eve. However, it was in the 16th century when the protestant reformer Martin Luther first added candles to a tree, which transformed into the radiant Christmas tree lights we use today.

The illustrated London news in the 19th century graced its pages with the image of Queen Victoria's family around a decorated Christmas tree, skyrocketing the tree's popularity. This image, further circulated by Godey’s Lady’s Book, transformed the Christmas tree tradition from a mere custom to a significant celebration in the American Christmas tree culture.

While the history of Christmas and the origin of Christmas sees various symbols like the yule log, candy cane, and nativity scene, it's the Christmas tree, especially the fir trees like Fraser fir, Norway spruce, and Douglas fir, that stand tall (sometimes up to feet tall) in our hearts and homes. Both real Christmas trees and traditional artificial Christmas trees, especially those from renowned brands like Balsam Hill, offer celebrants the choice to continue the festive legacy.

FAQs:

- Where did Christmas trees originate?

  - The origins of Christmas trees can be traced back to pre-Christian times when evergreen trees were used to celebrate the winter festivals. However, in Germany in the 16th century, the custom of decorating trees became popular, attributed in part to Martin Luther.

- How did electric lights become part of tree decorating?

  - The tree lighting tradition with candles transitioned to electric lights in the late 19th and 20th centuries, making it safer and more vibrant.

- What's the difference between a natural and artificial Christmas tree?

  - Real trees, like Norway spruce or balsam firs, are cultivated in tree farms and have a natural aroma. Artificial trees, conversely, are crafted to last for several seasons and can offer convenience without needing maintenance.

- Why are trees like the Douglas fir or Fraser fir popular for Christmas?

  - Trees like the Douglas fir or Fraser fir are popular because of their pleasing shape, fragrance, and the ability to retain their needles longer, making them ideal for decoration.

According to one legend, late one evening, Martin Luther, a compatriot of Queen Charlotte, was walking home through the woods and noticed how beautifully the stars shone through the trees. He wanted to share the beauty with his wife, so he cut down a fir tree and took it home (Click here for Full Article)
