[00:00.00]Christmas trees
[00:02.31]The first Christmas tree probably started
[00:05.32]about 400 years ago in Germany.
[00:09.64]Around that time,people began to put whole
[00:13.28]trees into their homes at Christmas.
[00:16.97]They put apples,sweets and coloured paper
[00:20.64]on the trees to make them look pretty.
[00:24.32]They also put candles on the trees
[00:27.55]to make them look beautiful at night.
[00:31.03]Then,in 1860,Queen Victoria,the Queen of
[00:35.48]England,had a Christmas tree in her home
[00:39.46]for Christmas.
[00:41.07]After that,many people in England wanted
[00:44.75]to have Christmas trees in their homes,too.
[00:49.27]A few years later,Christmas trees
[00:52.36]also became popular in the USA.
