Long ago, people welcomed evergreens into their homes during winter. It wasn't just about pretty decorations; these branches were ancient symbols of hope for spring's return, a tradition predating even Christmas itself. Fast forward to today, and that simple act has evolved into a full-blown holiday icon: the Christmas tree.
The tradition has evolved so far that in these modern times, the definition of a "Christmas tree" is taken quite loosely. We are seeing a trend of new creativity. Trees are prepared from anything you can imagine - recycled bottles, pizza boxes, bell peppers, and even computer monitors! Scroll down to marvel at some of the most unconventional Christmas trees you have ever seen.
