Christmas is both a sacred religious holiday and a

worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon. For

two millennia, people around the world have been ob-

serving it with traditions and practices that are both

religious and secular in nature.

Christians celebrate Christmas Day as the anniver-

sary of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a spiritual leader

whose teachings form the basis of their religion.

Popular customs include exchanging gifts, decorat-

ing Christmas trees, attending church, sharing meals

with family and friends and, of course, waiting for Santa

Claus to arrive.

December 25–Christmas Day–has been a Federal

holiday in the United States since 1870.

Germany is credited with starting the Christmas

tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century

when devout Christians brought decorated trees into

their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood

and decorated them with evergreens and candles if

wood was scarce. Most 19th-century Americans found Christmas trees

an oddity. The first record of one being on display was

in the 1830s by the German settlers of Pennsylvania,

although trees had been a tradition in many German

homes much earlier.

By the 1890s Christmas ornaments were arriving

from Germany and Christmas tree popularity was on

the rise around the U.S.

The early 20th century saw Americans decorating

their trees mainly with homemade ornaments, while the

German-American sect continued to use apples, nuts,

and marzipan cookies. Popcorn joined in after being

dyed bright colors and interlaced with berries and nuts.

Electricity brought about Christmas lights, making

it possible for Christmas trees to glow for days on end.

With this, Christmas trees began to appear in town

squares across the country and having a Christmas tree

in the home became an American tradition.
