The first place I saw one was at work. We have so many people from different countries, that they tried to have as many trees representing every country as possible. I really enjoyed looking at the traditions of other areas. Here is a little history on "History of the Upside Down Christmas Tree"<BR/><BR/>Although upside down trees are currently being advertised as novelty items, they actually have quite a long history. In the Middle Ages, it was common for Europeans to hang their Christmas trees upside down. The upside down tree was said to represent the Holy Trinity.<BR/> <BR/>Upside down Christmas trees gradually fell out of favor after the 1600s. Demand only began to increase in the late 1990s, after upscale retailers started using the unusual trees as part of their holiday displays in an effort to preserve more floor space for Christmas merchandise. Customers liked the look so well that they started asking how they could purchase upside down trees for their own homes. <BR/><BR/>However, the upside down Christmas tree does have its critics. Some conservative Christians feel the upside down tree is disrespectful, since a Christmas tree is traditionally shaped with the tip pointing to heaven. In fact, there are some people who think this fad is borderline sacrilegious, since the upside down Christmas tree has its tip pointing toward hell.Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06950173841937043390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2296901702860090409.post-21133904837057242142008-12-08T18:41:00.000-08:002008-12-08T18:41:00.000-08:00That is the coolest thing I&#39;ve seen in a long time.
