It's got a good ring to it. By the way, Happy Solstice Eve, everyone! Posted by: bad Jim | Dec 21, 2004 12:38:59 AM drunk pilot Hey, Derrida. The Christmas tree was probably a German invention (though Riga, Latvia claims the "first" one). drunk pilot But it damn sure is older than Queen Victoria's husband Albert. Stories abound (especially in Lutheran communities) about Martin Luther bringing in a spruce or pine and decorating it with candles, and making up some theological hocus pocus about drunk pilot salvation. This would have been about 1520. Crankier historians point out that the pre-Christian Germans worshipped trees (St. Boniface routinely chopped down the Tree of Odin to make a chapel while he was converting the Germans, and he was eventually martyred). Tree worship, winter holiday, trees in the house ... you do the math. It's a neat tradition, it's fun for the kids so long as the house doesn't burn down, and yeah, it's probably not directly related to the Nativity of Our Lord.
