Every year we buy a Christmas tree, decorate it with patience and are enjoy it. Since the beginning the tree was always with opulent green. But the Christmas tree we know only exists since 200 years. Before that, the branches had been used to protect the people from evil and sicknesses during the yuletide.

With the time the branches grew to trees and the trees became more luxurious decorated and also apples, nuts and fir cones were used for decoration. The Christmas tree in its modern version goes probably back to a glassblower from Thuringia. According to a tale nuts and apples were too expensive for him and so he invented the Christmas tree glass Sphere.
