Some people still do this. Currently, however, most Poles buy and wear it at the beginning of the month.
Not necessarily because of small children in the family (who want to feel the Christmas atmosphere earlier) or personal preferences. At last the earlier you are home, the longer you can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere.
Both options have many advantages. An artificial Christmas tree can be used every year, saving you money. However, it usually does not make such an impression, even if it is beautifully decorated.
A live tree is much more beautiful than an artificial one. It looks more impressive and spreads a wonderful forest scent in the apartment. It creates a unique atmosphere, regardless of whether it is a spruce, pine or Caucasian fir, but it must be properly cared for to last until Christmas. Do you know what to do to ensure that your Christmas tree does not lose its needles and delights your eyes with its beauty even in January?
