The tradition of the Christmas tree began to spread in other parts
of Europe. In England its use was popularize by the English Royalty
by decorating the first Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841.
The first English Christmas Tree was decorated by Prince Albert,
husband of Queen Victoria by candles, candies, fruits and gingerbread.
Now Christmas tree is common and adored throughout the world. In
US it is on public display. It has become a tradition for the President
of the United States to light the National Christmas Tree in Washington
every year.
Earlier Christmas trees were often decorated with colored popcorn,
apples, candles, nuts and cookies. But with the invention of electricity
in the early 20th century the use of electrical Christmas lights
has increased.
