Some people are turning one age old christmas tradition completely upside down this holiday season. Buzz60’s Josh King explains
Christmas is one of the most special times of the whole year. A time for friends and family when we gather to give thanks, take stock of the year that’s ending and prepare for the year to come. With so much going on, it’s small wonder that we have so many traditions from different cultures and faiths surrounding this time of year. And new ones are beginning nearly every year – but an upside-down Christmas tree?
Who has ever heard of anything so ridiculous?
Well, you may be surprised to hear that an upside-down Christmas tree is one of the hottest fads of the season. But it’s actually not so new!
Upside Down Christmas Tree History
Hanging fir trees upside down goes back to the Middle Ages, when Europeans did it to represent the Trinity. But now, Christmas trees are shaped with the tip pointing to heaven, and some think an upside-down Christmas tree is disrespectful or sacrilegious.
The trees were recently introduced to retailers for in-store displays, so more ornaments could be displayed at eye level to the buying public. And they left more floor space to hold extra stock of decorations.
