Decked Out for the Holidays

A home decked out for the holidays

About this puzzle

People have been decorating their homes for the holidays for hundreds of years. The tradition began with ancient winter solstice celebrations. Before electric lights and shiny ornaments, Europeans used evergreen branches, holly, and mistletoe as decorations. These plants stood for life and renewal during the darkest part of the year. In the 1500s, Germans started bringing evergreen trees inside and decorating them with candles, apples, and homemade ornaments. Over time, this became the Christmas tree tradition we know today.
