Christmas Tree History (610 words) |
 | The Christmas tree may have landed in America in the 1770’s with the Hessian troops who came to fight the American Revolution. |
| The newlyweds’ Christmas tree was decorated with an array of blown glass ornaments, and it was widely admired, sparking a vogue for similar trees throughout England. |
| The idea caught on, and by 1900 Christmas trees had grown so popular that conservationists, concerned about deforestation, began encouraging the practice of planting new trees when mature specimens were harvested. |
