The history of the Christmas tree
Fox News
Abby Hornacek details where the tradition of the Christmas tree came from in the Fox Nation special "The History of the Christmas Tree."
While the tradition might feel uniquely American, it began in the 16th century in Germany when Christians started bringing evergreens into their houses, Hornacek said.
Hornacek relayed a story of Martin Luther, who allegedly was awed by the beauty of the stars above the evergreens one evening, and tried to recreate the vision for his family at home.
