The first Christmas Trees went to Britain from Germany sometime in the 1830s. They became very popular in 1841, when Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's German husband) had a Christmas Tree set up in Windsor Castle.

* Originally the ubiquitous True-False question: "The tradition of the Christmas tree dates back to the days of the Egyptians Romans and Druids." In Egypt and other ancient societies, there were Winter Solstice celebrations, and some associated the display of greenery with the return of Spring. The Romans had a feast of Saturnalia, which featured yule logs and holly. The Druids famously used holly and mistletoe as symbols of eternal life, and placed evergreen branches over doors to keep away evil spirits. The association of fir trees with Christmas may have begun with St. Boniface around 1000 AD, who was said to have discovered a young fir in the roots of an oak tree. Martin Luther is said to have begun the tradition of indoor trees in Germany around 1500, and Christmas trees were introduced to the US by German immigrants. They became an English tradition during the reign of Queen Victoria, who had Christmas trees set up in her room each year and whose husband, Prince Albert, was German.

The Romans viewed the druids as a threat to their authority and control over the territories they conquered. The druids were influential religious leaders and played a key role in Celtic society, which clashed with Roman attempts to assimilate the Celtic tribes into their empire.
