Street in Budapest during Winter

Decorating a Christmas tree became popular gradually in Hungary. While the first Christmas tree appeared in 15th century in Germany, the tradition only arrived in Hungary in the 1820s and it took another 100 years for it to become the main symbol of Christmas. Tradition from generation to generation, we think what we are doing is right, without thinking of the consequences of what will the future be like for the next generation.
