The Christmas tree




The tree is a spruce. You can have a plastic or natural spruce. You can cut the tree down buy yourself, but usually you buy it. Here in Tanumshede can you buy it outside the grocery stores. I don’t know were you are buying it in bigger towns and cities. Many people put the tree into the house the day before Christmas Eve.
When you have put the tree into the house it is time to decorate it. Some of the decorations are: Christmas tree balls, they can be in different colours, but often they are red. Small Santa Claus, most people also have electric candles in the spruce. Glitter is also usual. Then you can do own decorations like Christmas crackers, you can also hang candy in the tree, like polka pigs and stuff like that. On the top of the spruce there is a star. Under the spruce can you find the Christmas presents. Many people are dancing around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve./ Anna Clara
