The Family Christmas Tree
Before anybody gets the do
it-yourself urge to cut Christ
mas tree, he should remember
it is illegal to cut trees on any
state lands or on any private
lands without the owners per-
mission.
Anyone wanting a Christmas
tree should either get it from
a reputable dealer, or with the
permission of the landowner.
Christmas trees have their
origin in pagan ceremonies
where the tree was worshipped
as a symbol of fertility. Chris
tians took over the tree in med
ieval times to represent the new
spiritual life, offered by Christ's
birth, and German immigrants
introduced the custom to this
country in the l870's.
