Yule Tree Began In Germany
History traces the Christmas tree to medieval German mystery plays and Boniface the English missionary in the eighth century. Prince Albert popularized it in England, German immigrants brought it to America, and today farming nets about 50 million dollars yearly amid rising plantings and minimal pests. Bonfires on town squares after holidays mark the tradition's farewell.
