Tradition of Christmas Tree May Date to Luther Origins
The article traces the Christmas tree tradition to Martin Luther who, on a winter night, reportedly imagined the starry sky reflection on snow and attached lighted candles to a fir tree for his family. It then shifts to guidance from the USDA on selecting and maintaining fresh Christmas trees, listing common species and quality standards, and how to obtain a free copy of How to Buy a Christmas Tree from the Southwest Regional Information Office in Dallas.
