About Christmas Tree
A Christmas tree is an evergreen tree, real or artificial, usually decorated with lights and ornaments to celebrate the Christmas holiday.
About Christmas Eve
For Christians, Christmas Eve is full of the mystery and solemnity of the arrival of the Christ. For secular people who still celebrate Christmas, it is often a time of anticipating the visit of Santa Claus, of hiding and wrapping gifts, or having a special family dinner. In earlier eras in the U.S., some families decorated their Christmas trees on Christmas Eve, and left them up through the '12 days of Christmas'.
