HOLIDAY TRADITIONS | HISTORY
Christmas Tradition Origins
Ever wonder why we
decorate fir trees or
hang mistletoe
during the Christmas
season?
Households, regions and
families have a variety of tra-
ditions to celebrate
Christmas, ranging from ugly
sweaters to drinking eggnog
to a Christmas goose, while
others, like decorating an
evergreen tree, are common
across the world. Mental
Floss talks about the history
of these common, and a few
less common, traditions.
EVERGREEN TREES
Before Christianity, people
used branches from pine
trees to decorate their homes
during winter as a reminder
that plants would return in
abundance during the spring.
As Christianity grew, people
incorporated the tradition of
evergreen trees into their cel-
ebrations, particularly in
Germany, decorating trees
with apples. The tradition
increased in popularity when
Queen Victoria decorated a
tree in honor of her German
husband.

CHRISTMAS COLORS
Red and green don’t have
an official origin story, but
historians believe green may
come from the evergreen tree
tradition, and the red is from
holly berries, which also have
a religious implication; the
berries have been associated
Leaving a sweet treat for
Santa dates back to ancient
Norse mythology. Legend has
it that the Norse god Odin
had an eight-legged horse,
Sleipnir. Children left treats
for Sleipnir with the hope that
Odin would give them gifts in
return. It returned to popu-
larity in the United States
during the Great Depression
as a way to teach children to
be grateful for gifts.
ADVENT CALENDARS
These calendars help you
count down the days until
Christmas. You can buy them
at the grocery store — typi-
cally these come with little
chocolates or other candies
inside — or get a reusable
one at a craft or Christmas
store. These could include
candy, reading the Christmas
story or something else.
Advent itself is a religious
advent that has been cele-
brated since the fourth centu-
ry; it starts on the Sunday
closest to Nov. 30 and is a
period of preparation for
Christmas.
MISTLETOE
This plant, which is actual-
ly a parasite, has long been
associated with fertility;
according to the Celtic
Druids, it blossomed in the
coldest times of winter. How
the jump from fertility to kiss-
ing is unknown, though the
tradition grew in popularity
with English servants in the
1700s and spread upward.
