Satunnaispuut

Satunnaispuut, also known as Christmas trees, are evergreen coniferous trees that are commonly used as a traditional symbol of Christmas. The most popular species used for Christmas trees are Norway spruce (Picea abies), white spruce (Picea glauca), and Fraser fir (Abies fraseri). These trees are typically cut from the forest and brought into homes for decoration, where they are often adorned with lights, ornaments, and tinsel.

The tradition of using evergreen trees as a Christmas decoration originated in ancient times, with some historians tracing it back to the Roman Saturnalia festival, which was celebrated in late December. The modern Christmas tree tradition is believed to have begun in Germany in the early 19th century, where it was a custom for families to gather around a decorated tree on Christmas Eve. This tradition spread throughout Europe and eventually to other parts of the world.
