O Christmas Tree



"O Christmas Tree" is from the German carol "O Tannenbaum" written in 1824 by Ernst Anshutz.  It is a secular favorite reflecting on the beauty and constancy of the EVERgreen, but it has come to also reflect the custom established in the nineteenth century of putting up evergreens inside one's house and decorating for the Christmas season.  See pictures of the various Christmas trees where we sang, above.
