eyelids, the ray of light
that fell athwart a dark

the world.

Who cut the first Christmas
tree and decorated it with
lights?
According to legend, Martin
Luther, the leader of the Protes
tant Reformation was returning
home one clear, cold Christmas
Eve more than 400 years ago
and saw thousands of stars that
appeared to be clinging to the
branches of the pine trees along
his path. That night he gave
his loved one a glittering tree,
blazing with starry candles.
Albert spread the tradition of
the tree to England when he
gave young Queen Victoria one
in 1841.
