D is for Decoration
Christmas decorations became popular on Christmas trees during the reign of Queen Victoria. Decorated trees are believed to have originated in Germany and date back to around 16th Century. They were usually decorated with candles, apples, nuts and dates.
Originally Christmas decorations and trees were not put up until Christmas Eve as it was considered unlucky.
Christmas wreaths actually date bake to Roman times when they were hung on the front door to indicate a festivity or celebration.
