Christmas Tree Traditions in Germany

i was looking more into the the history here. The treeou pointed to the sixteenth century origins in germany. And certainly that seems to be when it was. But i was also reading from a book by judith flanders, christmas biography. She's a historian and writer with a specialty remain specially, i think, is victorian history. Wenwe can think ofof many of these earlier traditions as, again, precursors to the christ Christmas tree.
