What is this? Some sort of horticulture disease? Why do you want a diseased Christmas tree?

It wasn't even a thing in the US until Queen Elizabeth put one up and it ended up on the cover of a magazine in the 30's or 40's

Two years later, in 1855, the Times-Picayune in New Orleans published an article noting that St. Paul's Episcopal Church would be setting up a Christmas tree. "This is a German custom," the newspaper explained, "and one that has been of late years imported into this country, to the great delight of the young folks, who are its especial beneficiaries."
The article in the New Orleans newspaper offers details indicating that many readers would be unfamiliar with the concept:
"A tree of evergreen, in size adapted to the dimensions of the room in which it is displayed, is selected, the trunk and branches of which are to be hung with brilliant lights, and laden from the lowest bought to the topmost branch, with Christmas gifts, delicacies, ornaments, etc., of every imaginable variety, forming a perfect storehouse of rare presents from old Santa Claus.
What indeed can be more gratifying to children than to take them where their eyes will grow big and bright, feasting on such a sight on the eve of Christmas
By the end of the 19th century, Christmas trees had become a widespread tradition throughout America

Such a shocking and warming reaction to our umble branches. I'm moved to tears by your words. I hope I can fill your agape orifices with my fruits.

I’ve got some big Christmas balls. I paint them up myself.

I think the poster was confusing Elizabeth II (born in 1926) with her great-great-grandparents Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who brought the custom with him from Germany.

Still think I should have doubled up the lights. Guess I’ll have to hit those after Christmas sales like Tulanelsu
