It
is of course a tradition in England to have a Christmas tree in
your home over the festive season. The tradition originally
comes from Germany. Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert, (who
was himself a German) introduced the custom to the Royal Family in the 1840's and everyone
soon adopted the idea.
There are
lots of attractive artificial trees in the shops now, but many
people still prefer to have a real tree. You are not allowed to
just go out into a forest with an axe and chop one down, but
many shops, garden centres and street markets sell them at this
time of the year. |
