Are you American and love your Christmas tree 🎄 ? Thank the Pennsylvania Dutch! For much of the 17th century, the Puritans in Massachusetts outlawed the celebration of Christmas, slowing down the growth of the tradition of the Christmas tree. Although banned in Boston, in the 18th century, the Christmas tree first took root in "Penn's Woodland" - or Pennsylvania - by German immigrants IE: Pennsylvania Dutch. Specifically, in Lancaster County, in 1821 this is the first written mention of the Christmas tree tradition in the United States. Even though Pennsylvania Dutch are credited with bringing the Christmas tree to America, they were not like the familiar ones we see today. Up until Civil War times, the trees used were branches of small trees from the sassafras or the zuckerbaam (wild cherry tree) and not the evergreen trees used presently. These table top trees of branches and limbs were surrounded by or decorated with apples, gilded nuts, colorfully wrapped candies and other ornaments. Do you think the upside down Christmas tree is a new thing? Think again! Again credited to the Pennsylvania Dutch. One of the ways the Pennsylvania Germans celebrated was with an upside down tree hung from the ceiling. Why, you ask? Many ornaments were edible, so suspending the tree from the ceiling kept the snitz (dried apple garland) and other treats out of the reach of mice. This century's-old tradition is making a comeback today. #primitiverootsconjure #primitiveroots #folkmagic #cunningfolk #folktradition #pennsylvaniagermans #appalachianfolkmagic #appalachiantraditions #padutch #pennsylvaniadutch #pennsylvaniawitches #powwow #powwower #christmastree #christmastraditions #holidayseason #holidaytraditions #holidayhistory #christmashistory #christmas #holidays #origins #mountainwitch #yayinikki #munumidnight #appalachiansuperstition #upsidedownchristmastree https://www.instagram.com/p/CIcCIBJn7oo/?igshid=110xkoqxk6v9p
