Feather Christmas tree
A feather Christmas tree is a type of artificial Christmas tree that is generally considered one of the first artificial trees used as a Christmas tree. They originated in Germany in the late 19th century and became popular in the United States during the early 20th century.
==History==
Feather Christmas trees were first created in Germany in the 1880s〔〔 or 1890s〔 and are regarded as one of the first types of artificial Christmas trees.〔John, J. ''A Christmas Compendium'', ((Google Books )), Continuum International Publishing Group, 2005, p. 129, (ISBN 0826487491).〕〔 These first artificial trees were, in part, a response to growing environmental concerns in the late 19th century concerning deforestation associated with the harvest of Christmas trees in Germany.〔 The tradition of feather Christmas trees was brought to the United States by German immigrants in places such as Pennsylvania and Texas.〔Leiser, Amy. "(The Pennsylvania Christmas Tree )", ''Monroe County Historical Association'', December 2005, accessed March 28, 2009.〕〔
Feather Christmas trees became popular during the early 20th century,〔 and were sold by department stores in the United States.〔
Benefits touted for feather trees included the elimination of a trip to the tree lot and the lack of shed needles.〔Marling, Karal Ann. ''Merry Christmas!: Celebrating America's Greatest Holiday'', ((Google Books )), Harvard University Press, 2000, pp. 58–62, (ISBN 0674003187).〕 Today, feather Christmas trees are valued as a collectible antique.〔 One 36 inch German tree sold at auction in 2008 for $230.〔Wiggins, Pamela. "(Feather Christmas Tree )", ''about.com'', accessed March 28, 2009.〕
