Among all the traditions of Christmastime, the custom of decorating the home for the holidays is both world-wide and age-old. For generations, families have cherished the tradition of journeying into the snowy woods to select the finest evergreen for a Christmas tree. The exact origins of the Christmas tree are not known; however, popular legend suggests that Martin Luther cut the first Christmas tree in Germany. Since that time, people the world over have decorated Christmas trees in celebration of the holiday. Another popular Christmas decoration is the beautiful poinsettia flower. Like the Christmas tree, the colorful poinsettia has a charming Christmas tale. According to legend, a poor boy, with nothing to offer Christ at church, fell to his knees and prayed to God for a gift to give. As he rose, a lovely "flower of the Holy Night" with brilliant red petals grew miraculously at his feet. Today, the poinsettia is the traditional flower of Christmas.
