The Christmas tree: The Christmas tree is one of the most dominant symbols of the Christmas season all over the world. The decorated and fully lighted Christmas tree has an aura in itself. It fills the air with warmth, love and happiness that are symbolic of the holiday season.
In the Middle Ages, the Germans and Scandinavians placed evergreen trees inside their homes or just outside their doors to show their hope for the forthcoming spring. The modern Christmas tree evolved from these evergreen trees that were regarded as a symbol of life. The tradition then spread to other parts of Europe and the entire world.
According to a legend, the Christmas tree is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. It is believed that on the night of the birth of Christ, all kinds of living creatures came to Bethlehem with gifts. The olive tree came along with its fruit and the palm with its date but the fir had nothing to gift the newborn king. So an angel, taking pity on the fir, commanded a cluster of stars to shine on its beautiful boughs. Baby Jesus smiled on seeing the lighted tree, and blessed it. Consequently, the fir tree is always lighted with many decorations on it, to please little children during Christmas.
Even the decorations on the Christmas trees draw their root in traditional values. The crystal balls symbolizes the fruit of redemption, the electric light or the candles are ancient symbols that stand for the triumph of spring over the darkness of winter. The light also symbolizes the light that Jesus Christ cast upon the lives of the people. The dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, while the bell symbolizes the joys of life.

History of the Snowman: A snowman is a figure constructed from snow. The image of a snowman is popularly connected with Christmas. Building a snowman is a popular winter recreation for children, along with snowball fights.
A snowman is usually constructed by first rolling a large ball of snow to act as a body. A second smaller ball is placed on top. Then a smaller, third, ball is placed on top as a head. Facial features, such as eyes and a mouth are added using coal, small stones or buttons. A nose may be added, using a piece of fruit or a vegetable, such as a carrot. Sticks are added as arms. Snowmen are often depicted with a pipe, a hat and a scarf.
Frosty the Snowman was a Tin Pan Alley novelty created by Jack Nelson and Steve Rollins in 1950, made as a follow up to "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and sold to Gene Autry, who recorded it. The title was taken up for a children's book, illustrated by Corinne Malvern, and published in 1950 by Golden Books. It went on to become a popular children's television cartoon by Rankin & Bass in 1968. Frosty is perhaps the most famous snowman. Select this link to view our artificial prelit christmas trees.
