The Christmas tree is not merely the bizarre expression of modern culture and its standing failure to produce or sustain meaningful traditions, however departed it may be from its original meanings or sources. From my perspective, the opposite is the case; the modern Christmas tree encodes the understandings and experiences of our distant ancestors, and however we may associate this with specific cultures or nations, yet it remains that there is something universal in the form. Something profoundly recognizable to all of us, even unconsciously.
