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.
A famous reference to the partridge is in the Christmas carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas. The first gift listed is a partridge in a pear tree, and these words end each verse. Since partridges are unlikely to be seen in pear-trees (they are ground-nesting birds) it has been suggested that the text in a pear tree is a corruption of the French une perdrix. The partridge has also been used as a symbol that represents Kurdish nationalism.
