This is the reason behind the Christmas tree, as I have heard it.

Thousands of years ago, people in east Europe thought that evergreen trees had magic powers and that this is what enabled them to stay green throughout the winter.

They thought that by bringing a bow of the tree into their homes, they would benefit from the tree's magic powers.

And that turned into the tradition of a whole tree.



The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
