Family gathered around the Christmas Tree, 1911. Mansfield Ohio. View full size.
I remember hearing my grandmother, born in 1908, tell about when her father would light the candles on the tree, on Christmas Eve. People used to not cut and decorate a tree until Christmas Eve, and I'll bet that was because they couldn't have lit it with candles if it had started to dry out at all.
