It is usually an [[evergreen]] [[coniferous]] [[tree]] that is cut and brought into the home. In [[Europe]], the tree is traditionally a [[Spruce|Norway spruce]] tree. The tree is decorated with Christmas lights and colourful ornaments during the days around Christmas. An [[angel]] or a [[star]] is often placed at the top of the tree. Fir trees outside the home may be decorated in a similar fashion. The custom of the Christmas tree has its origin among the [[Protestant]] peoples of Northern Europe. It is not a religious symbol. == In minority communities == There Is an annual Christmas tree lighting party in the courtyard of the [[YMCA]] in [[Gaza City]] ({{lang-ar| جمعية الشبان المسيحية غزة }})<!-- please keep local name, it's hard to find in English on maps and such --> in the [[Gaza Strip]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Khalil |first1=Adam |title=Israel denies Gaza Christians permits to celebrate Christmas with families |url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-gaza-christians-christmas-celebration-permits-denied |website=Middle East Eye |access-date=19 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Gaza begins Christmas celebrations |url=https://www.newarab.com/media/images/gaza-begins-christmas-celebrations |accessdate=15 May 2024 |work= The New Arab |date=13 December 2021 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Gaza’s Christians light Christmas tree - Al-Monitor: Independent, trusted coverage of the Middle East |url=https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/12/gazas-christians-light-christmas-tree |website=www.al-monitor.com |accessdate=15 May 2024 |language=en |date=22 December 2021}}</ref> ==Jingle Bells == [[File:Jingle Bells (120bpm) (Kevin MacLeod) (ISRC USUAN1100187).opus]] == References == {{reflist}} == Other websites == {{commons cat-inl
