Question of the month

Question: Which country is credited with starting the tradition of the Christmas tree?

Answer: Germany is widely credited with starting the tradition of the Christmas tree in the 16th century. The custom is believed to have originated in the region of modern-day Germany, where people began bringing evergreen trees into their homes and decorating them with candles, apples, and other ornaments to celebrate the holiday season. The tradition gained popularity across Europe, and by the 19th century, it had spread to other parts of the world, including the United States, where it became a central part of Christmas celebrations.
