Most 19th-century Americans found Christmas trees an oddity. The first record of one being on display was in the 1830s by the German settlers of Pennsylvania, although trees had been a tradition in many German homes much earlier. The Pennsylvania German settlements had community trees as early as 1747.
G'day Aga, Thank you for your question. The Christmas tree actually is a German/Scandinavian tradition that predates Christianity. Trees were a sacred symbol in Roman mythology. The Christmas Tree was an adaption of pagan customs as happened elsewhere such as Christmas Day.
