Morgantown, WV: Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree!
Many families honor the time-held tradition of selecting a live Christmas tree. I look forward to it every year! Choosing my own tree got me thinking about the history of the Christmas tree and its origins as part of the holiday season in the United States.
We have 16th-century Christians from Germany to thank for bringing their custom of indoor decorated trees to the United States. While some decorated wood pyramids with evergreen branches and candles, it is believed that Protestant Reformer Martin Luther took things a step further. In an effort to replicate the twinkling stars of the night sky, Luther purportedly added candles to an actual evergreen tree.
While Christmas may look a bit different this year, we can still capture the beauty of the season with a decorated live tree. Join me, along with our real estate agents, in another year of observing this heartwarming tradition with a tree from one of these great sources around Morgantown.
