The Queen and the First Christmas Tree
The Queen and the First Christmas Tree: Queen Charlotte's Gift to England | Nancy Churnin
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Queen Charlotte brought her family's festive holiday yule bough from Germany to England. While planning a Christmas Day party in 1800 at Windsor Castle for over 100 children, she realized a single bough isn't enough. So she brought in the whole tree instead, making it the first known Christmas Tree in England. This story tells a little known fact about a favorite holiday tradition.

I‘m sorry to say I knew nothing about Queen Charlotte - the wife of George III. From this book, which describes how she brought the tradition of the Christmas tree to England, she sounds like a unique and amazing woman. I‘d like to learn more about her!
