Times Square was called Longacre Square until 1904, when it was renamed in honor of the newly erected Times Building.
The Christmas tree was first. Martin Luther in the mid 16th Century is thought to be the first to decorate an indoor tree. The first candy canes -- all white sugar candy in the shape of a shepherd's staff -- were handed out to children at Christmas in Germany in 1670 during a long church service. Interestingly enough, candy canes were used to decorate trees shortly thereafter.
Artificial garland is an easy way to decorate an outdoor Christmas tree. It comes in long lengths and many shiny, sparkling colors.

What is now known as Times Square was originally named Long Acre Square. However, when the New York Times headquarters opened there in 1904 on New Year's eve, the name was changed to Times Square.
