********************************
At Christmas you decorate a pine tree with baubles and tinsel. Where does this custom come from?People in Norway and Sweden used to build their wooden houses round a large pine tree. The tip of the tree was left free and decorated when the roof is completed. The reason for this was that people thought a tree god lived in each tree. The decorations were supposed to keep the tree god happy.
Our Xmas tree tradition grew from this pre-Christian custom. To this day, however, in many parts of Northern Europe, a small fir tree is often fixed to the top of a new house to bring its owner luck.
