The history of the Christmas tree, and why it became a popular holiday tradition
From the tree that stands tall and beautiful in Rockefeller Center to the humble Charlie Brown Christmas tree, it wouldnโt be Christmas without the traditional tree. Christmas trees are part of the Christmas spirit, but when and how did this all become such a staple in the Christmas tradition? By the 1890s Christmas ornaments were arriving from Germany and Christmas tree popularity was on the rise around the U.S. The first Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center was in 1931. Workers at the Rockefeller Center construction site put their money together for a 20-foot Christmas tree because they were thankful to have jobs during the great depression.
