The Origin of the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree fairy.
The fir tree has a long association with Christianity. It began in Germany almost 1,000 years ago when St. Boniface, who converted the German to Christianity, was said to have come across a group of Pagans worshiping an oak tree. In anger, St. Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from th roots of the oak tree. St. Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But t was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time and the angel got put onto it along with other festive decorations such as baubles and snowflakes to represent the festive time of year.
