The decoration or ornamentation of trees during the winter months does date to pre-Christian times and continues in many none Christian cultures. In the British Isles the practice of bringing trees indoors for the Christmas period did not become the norm until well into the 18th century. This was due to the marriage of the monarch to a royal from the North East of Europe.

∙ 11y agoThe spruce, or as Christians call it; the Christmas treeis coniferous, for it grows over 60 degrees north of the equator. Coniferous trees are evergreen, meaning that they do not shed their leaves. In ancient England, every winter when the deciduous plants had shed their leaves the Pagans would collect evergreen plants to celebrate Yule. Spruce was a popular choice for them, as a symbol for survival.
