Christmas trees today range from traditional to modern and unconventional designs that may not even resemble a tree at all.
While the Christmas tree is often thought of as a symbol of the holiday season, its origins can be traced back to pre-Christian and pagan times when people used evergreen branches to decorate their homes during the winter solstice as a symbol of hope for the coming spring.
Ultimately, the Christmas tree is not always just about its appearance, but these fancy Christmas trees are.
