Christmas trees are actually a holdover from pre-Christian religious practices of the Germans and Scandinavians. They weren't known in England until Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, insisted on having one. The custom was scoffed at, at first, then gradually became acceptable.

I always wondered how the Christmas tree came to be. I just thought it was something comercial.
