'Turnback Tuesday' highlights Christmas tree tradition

Turnback Tuesday is highlighting the Christmas tree tradition that is celebrated in many countries.

In Greenland, trees are decorated with candles and bright ornaments.

In Ireland, people favor a star or angel on top.

In Norway, many decorate their trees on “Little Christmas Eve-Dec. 23”.

For the Philippines, fresh trees are too expensive, so handmade trees in an array of colors are often used. We have Germany to thank for this tradition of bringing trees into our homes at the holiday.

Some interesting facts about Christmas trees:

The Rockefeller Center tree in New York City started in 1931 by construction workers.

Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states with most of them grown on farms.

Our 14th President Franklin Pierce brought the Christmas tree tradition to the White House in the early 1850s.

Approximately 25-30 million real

Christmas trees are sold in the U.S. every year.

Thanks goes to Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting history each week.
