[Was meint ihr: Was ist dem Tannenbaum passiert?
What do you think? What happened to the Christmas Tree?]
There are a number of origin stories for the Christmas tree tradition. But according to the article below, Germans are to be given the nod for starting the tradition recent times.

This article from Young Germany deals with that utter madness which assaults the logical mind when a person realizes that Germans actually say: "How faithful are your leaves[sic]" in "O Tannenbaum". Gasp! I still think that there are a number of students who just didn't believe me this year...

If you click the link below the comic, you will find the website of the creator of the comic. On the original website, you'll read under the comic: Illustration aus „Land aktuell“ zum Thema „Baumsterben“ . So the comic was made about the topic of "Baumsterben" = Tree Death. Climate change [Klimawandel] does wreak havoc on everything, including aspects of our traditions which should remain forever "treu" like a Tannenbaum, but eventually won't be able to survive.
