New Year is a holiday that is loved not only by children, but also by adults. New Year's chores, gifts, decorations, what could be more wonderful. Do you know how and when the tradition of putting a Christmas tree at home for the New Year appeared and how it was decorated earlier?
So winter has come, someone loves this time of the year, someone not very much, because in the summer it is still warmer. A wonderful and beloved holiday will come very soon. Yes, yes, you understood correctly, I'm talking about the New Year. This means that again you need to get Christmas toys, tinsel, rain and garlands of colorful bulbs and get ready to once again decorate your house and Christmas tree.
It is believed that for the first time they began to decorate a Christmas tree under Peter I, and not even a Christmas tree, but pine and spruce branches. The New Year's beauty became a decoration of houses only in the middle of the 19th century. From the very beginning, they began to decorate the Christmas tree with all kinds of sweets, fruits, sweets, apples, oranges, nuts and beads. Instead of multi-colored garlands, small candles were used, but soon they began to be installed in lamps made of multi-colored glass. Such decoration, of course, could not be called safe.
At the end of the 19th century, toys began to appear in wealthy houses - horsemen, dolls, soldiers. And in the 20th century, glass Christmas toys, including balls, began to be made in Russia. After the Soviet man first flew into space, toys began to appear in the form of rockets, airplanes and astronauts, and later cars, all kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Today's Christmas tree, of course, differs from its predecessors, but, as before, it is thanks to it that the holiday atmosphere is created.
