Christmas tree trend: decorate in the past, less work!

Christmas tree trend: decorate in the past, less work!

The Christmas tree - an undisputed symbol of the festive season. According to a current survey, it is still very popular in Upper Austria: eight out of ten inhabitants have a Christmas tree in their good room. The Nordmann fir was particularly impressed by the Upper Austrians. The prices for a running meter this year are between 22 and 27 euros, as reported. While many buyers appreciate the selection at the beginning of December, many tend to complete the purchase shortly before Christmas. Six out of ten Upper Austrians prefer a real wooden tree, while the artificial tree, according to Susanne Eidenberger, managing director of a garden center in Leonding, is becoming more and more fashionable. "The art Christian tree is a wonderful way to put up a tree a little earlier and you also save the work of having to dispose of the Christmas tree after Christmas," explains Eidenberger.

In addition, a representative survey of the "Statista" portal shows that the Christmas tree is increasingly being set up earlier in German households. This year, 30 percent of those surveyed stated that they set their tree at the beginning of December - significantly more than five years ago, where only 18 percent did so. Around 28 percent prefer to set up the tree in mid -December, while 29 percent decorate it just a few days before Christmas Eve. The Americanization of German residential traditions is discussed here, since many people in the United States bring their tree into the house directly after Thanksgiving. The survey also showed that many Germans keep their tree as a constant companion until the new year, in contrast to previous traditions in which the Christmas tree was only set up on the day before Christmas Eve and was decorated shortly afterwards, like Blick.de explained. The shift of this tradition is an indication of the changing handling of Christmas customs and celebrations today.
