Germany started the tradition of decorating the Christmas tree
The tradition of the Christmas Tree came from Germany and probably derives from pagan worship of certain trees in the area of the Black Forest.
People put up their Christmas trees at different times. It depends on which tradition they follow or personal choice. One tradition is to wait until Christmas Eve day and leave it up until the day after Twelfth Night. One reason for this tradition is to spend the Advent season preparing for Christmas, then put the tree and decorations up to celebrate the feast of Christmas. Another tradition is to put trees up on Saint Nicholas Day, December 6th. Another tradition is to put the trees up on Immaculate Conception Day, December 8th. Then there is the tradition of setting up the tree on December 13th, 12 days before Christmas.
