For centuries, the Christmas tree has played a part in celebrating the festive season, from the early tradition of evergreen trees in Germany to the modern tree made popular by Queen Victoria’s German husband Prince Albert. Today, decorating the tree together is a great way to spend time with family and friends, with many decorations passed down from generation to generation. Here are five of our favourites:
