PRINCE ALBERT AND QUEEN VICTORIA MADE CHRISTMAS TREES FASHIONABLE: The tradition of the Christmas tree came from Germany, and there are accounts of early 19th century Christmas trees in America. But the custom wasn’t widespread outside German communities. The Christmas tree first gained popularity in British and American society thanks to the husband of Queen Victoria, the German-born Prince Albert. He installed a decorated Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841, and woodcut illustrations of the Royal Family’s tree appeared in London magazines in 1848. Those illustrations, published in America a year later, created the fashionable impression of the Christmas tree in upper class homes.
