Christmas fir tree backgrounds, Christmas, beautiful Christmas fir, Easter,Historical origins of the christmas tree The origin of the Christmas fir tree is not mentioned in the Bible as a celebration in the way that Easter. This is partly because no one really knows the date of the birth of Jesus Christ that takes place, not even the exact year, let alone a date of a specific month. The calendar changes made by the Romans and other agencies meant that dates were lost in ancient times. The Greek word for Christ is Xristos and so the use of the word Xmas along with Christmas became commonplace in 1500. In this section, I happily use both versions of the word.

"O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
How lovely are your branches.
In summer sun and winter snow,
A dress of green you always show.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With happiness we greet you
When decked with candles once a year,
You fill our hearts with yuletide cheer.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
With happiness we greet you
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter.
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit, nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter.
Traditional German Carol." O Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum)
