"Buy a Christmas Tree Day" Christmas Tree History: Did a celebration around a Christmas tree on a bitter cold Christmas Eve at Trenton, New Jersey, turn the tide for Colonial forces in 1776? According to legend, Hessian mercenaries were so reminded of home by a candlelit evergreen tree that they abandoned their guardposts to eat, drink and be merry. Washington attached that night and defeated them. Some historians trace the lighted Christmas tree to Martin Luther. He attached lighted candles to a small evergreen tree, trying to simulate the reflections of the starlit heaven -- the heaven that looked down over Bethlehem on the first Christmas Eve. The Christmas tree is a symbol of a living Christmas spirit and brings into our lives a pleasant aroma of the forest.� Written by: David Robson Extension Educator, Horticulture Springfield Extension Center [read more]
