Photo Gallery: Christmas Trees of Lawrence County
The tradition of decorating Christmas trees has roots stretching back centuries, blending cultural customs and celebrations. The modern Christmas tree traces back to 16th-century Germany, where devout Christians brought evergreen trees into their homes and adorned them with candles. Over time, the practice spread across Europe and eventually made its way to America, popularized in the 19th century by German immigrants and Queen Victoria's family, who were famously depicted celebrating around a decorated tree.
Today, Christmas trees are more than just symbols of the season—they're a canvas for creativity and a reflection of cherished family traditions. From elegant themes to eclectic collections of ornaments gathered over years, every tree tells a unique story.
