The Magical Christmas Tree
Long ago, people started decorating Christmas trees to celebrate the holiday season. They used evergreen fir trees, which stay green all year. These trees grow in many parts of the world, including Europe and North America. Decorating the tree is a fun tradition. Families hang colorful ornaments, twinkling lights, and a shiny star on top. The star symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem, which led the Three Wise Men to baby Jesus. Today, the Christmas tree is a symbol of joy and celebration. It reminds us of the spirit of giving and spending time with loved ones. The magical Christmas tree truly lights up the festive season!
