<holidayfyi-glossary slug="christmas-tree"></holidayfyi-glossary>An evergreen tree, real or artificial, decorated with lights, ornaments, and a star or angel at the top, central to Christmas celebrations in Christian and secular households worldwide. The tradition originated in 16th-century Germany and was popularized globally by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the 19th century. The tree's evergreen nature symbolizes eternal life, and it now appears in homes across all religious backgrounds as a seasonal decoration.
