Kelley O'Hara USWNT Jersey , mentions a spruce Christmas tree. Some say that a Harvard?Professor from Germany had one in 1824. There is reliable evidence?that there was such a tree in Cambridge, Mass., in 1832; and in?Philadelphia two years later. The idea and the tradition spread rapidly?through this country.

We do know that in Strasbourg, on the Rhine, there?were Christmas trees in 1604, although there is no mention of lights or?decorations. The custom gradually spread over all of Germany, to?Finland in about 1800, thence to the other Scandinavian countries

Many?trees are now sprayed with a mist of metallic or plastic paint, or mica?flakes, simulating frost and snow.?In Sweden and Norway, the Christmas tree is decorated with gold and?silver stars, strips of colored paper
Crystal Dunn USWNT Jersey , and miniature flags, of many?nations, strung in garlands. In Sicily, olive trees decorated with?oranges are sometimes used. Swiss trees, on which are hung gaily?decorated pine cones and gilded nuts, have the snow of the Alps?reproduced in cotton. A French tree may have sugar bon-boons and?exquisite paper ornaments. In Poland, the tree is decorated with?brightly-colored-paper peasants, paper clowns and miniature toys. The?Ukrainian tree
