The precise date to put up your Christmas tree in 2025 has been revealed – and it’s not in December.

A Christmas tree is likely one of the first things that comes to mind when you think of the festive season, with the tradition originally coming from Germany.

Christmas trees were introduced to England during the Georgian era, under King George III’s reign.

His wife, Charlotte, who was German, is thought to have decorated a tree for her family in the 1790s.Reklama

However, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are often credited with popularising the tradition of decorating a tree at Christmas in Britain, leading many to believe they started the tradition. Initially, people had small trees that they placed on their tables, but when larger trees from Norway became available, they began placing their trees on the floor, with presents underneath.

The timing for putting up the tree can be a bone of contention, as some prefer the start of December, while others opt for the 13th – 12 days before Christmas. However, according to tradition, Christmas trees should be put up at the beginning of Advent, the fourth Sunday before Christmas, reports The Mirror.

This year, the first day of Advent falls on Sunday, November 30. On this day, some Christians attend special church services, with some churches offering a Christingle service for children and families.Reklama

At a Christingle service, each youngster is given or holds a Christingle. Some people write or send their Christmas cards, while others bake a Christmas cake or Christmas pudding.
