The Celts would put these trees up in their homes and decorate the trees with colored paper, toys, and food. Candles were sometimes used as well.
As
these people moved to other countries, they took this
tradition with them. People began to use other things to
decorate their trees, such as cotton (to look like snow),
candy, popcorn, and glass ornaments.
When electric lights became available near the beginning of the 20th Century, people used these lights on their Christmas trees as well.
