Christmas in turkey!!

Christmas especially in big cities became a taste of the life of many Turks although they are not Christians. The ones buying Christmas trees are the ones having ID cards with "Muslim" written on carrying bags full of ornaments easily purchased from malls. The trees are ornamented with a festival mood and stay till the first days of New Year. Of course there are so many thinking this new habit as "showing off". However although the ones ornamenting the tree with great pleasure don't know this pine tree ritual's history dates back before Christianity. Its roots are in Anatolia as many mythological figures and rituals still alive today in Christianity
