The history of upside down Christmas trees goes as far back as the middle ages- when residents of Europe hung their xmas trees upside down as a representation of the holy trinity. Of course- that is not the most common method of displaying today/' s Christmas tree- as what it now represents- right side up- is the tip of the tree pointing to heaven. Because of this modern attitude and style- there are those that think an upside down Christmas tree could be a sacrilege or at least a sign of disrespect.

Though there is no clear history of upside down Christmas trees we do know some of how it came about.

During 600 AD a British monk traveled to Germany to preach the word of God. He spent a lot of time in Thuringia- an area destined to become the home of the first secular xmas decorations. Here the monk- according to upside down Christmas tree history- decided to make the triangular shape a representation of the Holy Trinity made up of God the father- God the Son and God the Holy Ghost.

The Europeans he converted started to revere the monk/' s upside down Christmas tree- so history tells us- as the Tree of God. By the 1100/' s the upside down tree was appearing hanging from nearly every central European ceiling.
