Christmas Tree...

today was a quiet day.
spent the whole morning watching my fav tv shows. =D
then i decorated our Christmas Tree.

i love these tiny baubles. 

while decorating the tree... by myself!!
i kept thinking and wondering...
WHY a tree during Christmas...? why not a cactus or something? lol.
and who on earth started this tradition?
hmmmm...

one of the stories i found out said that this tradition was started......
those of you who hate history you can sleep now.
....in the 16th century..in Germany!
Saint Boniface stopped some pagans sacrificing a child under a big oak tree.
and he cut it down...and a fir tree grew in its place. 
and he said that this evergreen tree was a symbol of Christ's promise of eternal life.

hmmm.. 
interesting..

that's about all i found out...cuz after that i was too lazy to read on.
=S i'm not really the history kinda girl either.
all that matters is that Christmas is a time to remember
that Jesus was born to our earth....for US. 
=)



oh well. whoever started this tradition...it is a fun thing to do. 
=)


and tada... my Christmas tree. =D




that's all for today folks.
good night!



xoxo
