A Christmas without the Christmas tree is
incoherent. The fragrance and essence of the Xmas trees have been an
integral part of the celebrations as well as of the family unit since time
immemorial. The celebrations usually begin with the selection of the tree,
and carries on with the decorations till the day of Christ, when all the
revelry takes place in front of this very tree. Gifts are placed under the
tree, as family and friends gather around to celebrate the birth of Christ. |
