Christmas trees and Christmas cards seem to be an essential part of the holiday season. So it may surprise you to know they are both relatively recent traditions in the USA and Britain!

The Christmas tree has its origins in Germany. The husband of Britain’s Queen Victoria brought the tradition to England when he moved there in 1840. But where did the German tradition come from?
