Weihnachtsbaum

A Weihnachtsbaum, or Christmas tree, is a decorated coniferous tree traditionally displayed during the Christmas season, primarily in Germany and other parts of Europe. It symbolizes celebration and festivity, often adorned with ornaments, lights, and tinsel. The tradition originated in Germany in the 16th century and has since become popular worldwide. The tree is typically an evergreen conifer, such as a fir, spruce, or pine, symbolizing eternal life. During Christmas, it serves as a central decorative element in homes, and often holds a star or angel at the top, with presents placed underneath.
