Christmas is coming back to Spain, so the Christmas tree can be put up. But why only after December 5? Traditiedeskundige Ineke strouken explained with photographs.
for many centuries, certainly already at the time of the Germanic people, they celebrated people, in a time period in which they could recover in the winter time. “In the past, people thought twice – good and bad. It was bad in the winter season, which lasted from November 11 to Easter,” said Strouken photographed.
Now we have a sort of hibernation in the middle of a dark, gloomy period, the mid-winter period must also be used. “It was gloomy, dark, people were hungry. It was precisely in that period, it was beautiful, it was made. To eat, near the fire. It was purely to survive, because the worst months were yet to come.”
But now, now that we have central heating and electricity in your home, the tradition is to stay put. “We live in a busy world where it has always been. The function has changed from survival to survival in today’s modern society. Now we have a kind of stupor.”
Christmas tree and there was a lot of resistance the house is in the middle of winter to decorate, it was there since December 21, all kinds of greenery inside the building. Today is, because it was thought that the people of that time – the shortest day of the year. There was no Christmas tree, but there were branches in a vase, or as a string with each other, connected. “The first mention of a Christmas tree dates back to 1842. The Christmas tree came from German immigrants, and girls in Holland.”

There was a lot of resistance in our country, but in the past half century, most people in the so-called “midwinter”. The tree is a tradition, after the Christmas installation. “It’s always been like this: first St. Martin, then Santa and then Christmas.”
People put up their tree and get up. Today, folks, the tree is still pretty much down and photographed. “In the old days you could do it for a lot longer. Also, we only saw Christmas decorations in the shops after Christmas. But we will all be influenced by the garden centres, with their kerstafdingen. People are all hell go there to look at it.”
In Holland, we find that, according to strouken, it was photographed with a real tree and that it is beautiful. “We also want to be in the tree. In some countries, all the trees are full of it, but we want it to be green so that we can see it. This is because we are used to having green branches in the house. We have joined nature in you, that’s who we still are.”
The Christmas tree will remain, according to tradition, until January 6, the three wise men are described. Otherwise it would be unfortunate. “But today, most of the tree is already January 2. Then he sees him sitting there, as they were before, in the first place.”
Now you can get the tree, faster and faster, to the house and let it stand until January 6. (Image: 123RF).
Traditions are hard to learn First St-Maarten, then Santa Claus and then Christmas, according to the strouken, which was photographed in the meantime, but a bit outdated. “But at the same time, we also have regelvolkje. We want all the rules to be created. I’m getting worse and worse, sometimes, to get used to all that in August, on their shelves. And I’m like on the month of November.”
Traditions, after all, are hard to learn, said the photographed strouken. So we want to be able to get rightly angry at people who do things differently. “It’s almost part of our DNA.”
