We've been putting up Christmas trees since medieval times. A custom that originally took root in Europe, the idea of taking an evergreen conifer—a spruce, pine, or fir—into the home and decorating it with traditional ornaments truly became popular in the 19th century. Today, the Christmas tree is a ubiquitous symbol of the festive season, with decorated trees on public display in towns, villages, and cities across the world.
Log on, browse the gallery, and find out where you can admire this most cherished of Yuletide symbols.
