If there is one symbol of Christmas that is universally known, it is the Christmas tree.
Originally a pine tree or a coniferous tree, the Christmas tree has its origins in ancient traditions. While the exact origins are unknown, some historical data puts the Christmas tree?s origins in Germany. A deep sense of symbolism epitomizes the Christmas tree. This tree is seen in drawings going back centuries.
In our family, we have never missed erecting the Christmas tree. I remember when I was a child, I used to help my father to set up the tree in our living room. There were times when we had more than one Christmas tree. One in the living room and one big one in the backyard. We used to have barbeques parties during the Christmas week.
This time is truly a time to relax, unwind, and enjoy. 
And decorating the Christmas tree is a great stress buster. 
Talking about tree decorations, there is this nice video I came across on Youtube. You can view that video on this link - http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=jp8jIPaX9BM. What I like about this video is the idea of creating a really appealing Christmas tree with just about any materials that happen to be available. The way you can make and decorate the tree is just restricted to your imagination.
