Q: I have always wondered why do we decorate an evergreen tree and what does that have to do with Christmas and Jesus, I have a feeling that has to do with a garden but I wanna be sure, can anyone tell me, 10 points for the answer that gives me a lot of details, please no links, you may use wikipedia to help you and you may copy and paste your answer, I LOVE Christmas trees they give me a warm feeling and remind me of how blessed I am to be alive, I love helping decorate the tree every year after Thanksgiving, I love walking through malls seeing the beautifully decorated trees on display and I love the music they play while you shop, I also make my own Christmas ornaments, I color them with colored pencils, glitter glue and I hang them up in my room, I also wrap empty boxes with wrapping paper, you know like the box ice cream bars come in, instead of throwing it away, that is my way of recycleing it, by wrapping it in beautiful wrappin paper and putting each box outside my room door.
A: Legend has it that Dr.Martin Luther (of the Protestant Reformation fame) was walking home from church one winter night and was impressed by the beauty of the stars shinning through the pine trees. So much so, that he cut down the tree and took it home. Then he put candles among the branches to simulate the stars.
