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.

(my source)

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!
