I apologize for turning my back to you, but I’m working, as you may notice.
This year the time for decorating my Christmas tree has arrived.
I like doing this in the evening so I can immediately see the effect of the little shining lights.
The custom of decorating a Christmas tree probably had its origins in 16th century in Germany, though there isn't any specific person who can be identified as the sole originator of the tradition.
There are, of course as it always happens, various legends about the origin of the Christmas tree, so we can simply believe in the most appealing one for us or invent a new one...
Did you know that in England, the first Christmas tree decorated with candles, fruits and gingerbread, was sighted at Windsor castle in 1841?
Oh, I’m sorry , but I have to finish my tree decoration since as you can notice by looking at the table, I’m waiting for a guest, so all must be in perfect order before his arrival...
Would you like to know who my guest is?
Hum, I’m afraid this is another story...
