It wouldn’t be Christmas without a beautiful tree.
Days before the holiday season, Western children begin decorating (装饰) Christmas trees. They put colourful lights and stars on them. But the best things are the gifts (礼物) under the tree!
Where did the first Christmas tree come from? There are many stories about it.
One is about the German Martin Luther. He was walking through the forest (树林) one Christmas Eve. As he walked, he saw millions of stars above ever-green (常绿的) trees. He thought it was beautiful. He cut down a small tree and took it home to his family. He put candles (蜡烛) on it.
Another story is about a poor woodman. He met a lost and hungry child on Christmas Eve. He was very poor himself, but gave the child food and a place to stay.
He woke the next morning to find a beautiful tree outside his door. The hungry child was really an angel (天使). He wanted to thank the man.
People first had Christmas trees in Germany in 1600s. Now there are different kinds of Christmas trees, even man-made ones. But they all have a very big star or an angel on the top.
