season. Though neither an inventor nor a single

the tradition of erecting Christmas tree, it is
believed, it may be originated during 16th century
in Germany. Erecting Christmas tree was popularized
across the western world in the 18th and 19th
centuries.
Artificial trees have become increasingly popular
recently and are decorated with Christmas lights
and colourful ornaments during the days around
Christmas. Each branch of the Christmas tree is
decorated with balls, bells, small stars, tinsels,
candy, gifts, baubles, and lights. Artificial

and are come to worship him... Then Herod...inquired
of them diligently what time the star appeared.
And he sent them to Bethlehem... When they had
heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before
them, till it came and stood over where the
young child was. When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when
they were come into the house, they saw the
young child with Mary his mother..." (KJV)
