A '''Christmas tree''' is an [[evergreen]] [[tree]] adorned with [[ornament]]s and [[light]]s during the [[Christmas]] season.
The first mention of a Christmas tree was in 1605 at [[Strasbourg]] in [[Germany]]. It was later introduced into [[France]], and then to [[England]].<ref>Modern Catholic Dictionary (John A. Hardon, S.J., ed.)</ref>
The first decorated tree was at [[Riga]] in [[Latvia]], in 1510. In the early 16th century, [[Martin Luther]] (1483-1546) is said to have decorated a small Christmas Tree with [[candle]]s, to show his children how the [[star]]s twinkled through the dark night. <ref> http://www.christmasarchives.com/trees.html</ref>
