It is approximately four weeks to Christmas, and so this is the right time to put up your Christmas tree in your homes, offices, malls, and other interior spaces.

Why now, isn’t it too soon? Well, the fact remains that the dawn of Yuletide strikes you from the first day of November, which is the month that paves way for one of the best festive seasons in the world. So, you don’t have to wait for December before getting into the mood; herald the yuletide season with a Christmas tree.

Besides, you don’t want to start running helter-skelter sourcing for Christmas tree and trying to set it up at the peak of the season when you should actually be enjoying the spur of the festive season.

Christmas tree is an evergreen tree, although now artificially grown and built in different shades, it sets the yuletide season in the air for your home and family members.

Beyond their decorative purposes, these yuletide highlights represent the joy and elegance of the holidays such that glorify whichever corner of your space you decide to place them.

Expectations of the yuletide season, which represent love and thanksgiving, naturally have a way of bestowing some sort of happiness in the heart of believers. So, putting up the tree in your home now, not later, reminds you everyday for the rest of the season, that it’s time to slow down on the hustles and bustles, look back at the long year and count your blessings; just give thanks for all the highs and lows of the year. If anything, surviving the pandemic 2020 is enough to set you in a thanksgiving mode.

Nature of Christmas tree
Ever wondered why year in and out the Christmas tree never loses its value? The evergreen Christmas tree symbolises eternal life through the birth of Christ, death and resurrection, which is the supreme gift of Almighty God to humans, and it reminds Christians of the tree of life in the book of Genesis 2:9.

Sourcing for Christmas trees
Christmas trees can be fresh-cut, potted, or artificial, and are used as both indoor and outdoor decorations.

Traditional significance of Christmas tree in your home
Christmas trees are an integral part of cherished Christian family traditions, and a home without the Christmas tree in the yuletide season, like some say, is lifeless. However, while the trees are traditionally associated with Christian symbolism, their modern use is largely secular.

Peculiarity of Christmas tree ornaments
* The lightning on the Christmas tree is beyond the glitters and glows they bestow on it, but more importantly they represent the gift of life and love.
* The most traditional Christmas tree ornaments are angels. They are traditionally placed on top of the Christmas tree to symbolise the angels who announced Jesus’s birth.
* The star ornament symbolises the Star of Bethlehem, which represents birth, kingship and a new dawn of greatness.
