  Christmas has many traditions, such as singing songs, cooking foods, giving gifts and so on. Some special trees and plants also are part of the Christmas tradition. One of the most popular is the evergreen tree. It is usually a pine or a fir. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. Many people buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put it in their house and hang small lights and colorful objects on its branches. Some people buy living trees and plant them after the Christmas holiday. Others cut down a tree or buy a cut tree. Other popular plants at Christmas are the poinsettias. These plants are valued for their colorful bracts, which look like leaves. Most poinsettias are red. But they also can be white or pink. Poinsettias are native to Mexico. They are named after America’s first ambassador to Mexico, Joel Poinsett. He liked the plant and sent some back to the United States. Many people believe that poinsettias are poisonous. But researchers say this is not true. They say the milky liquid in the plant’s stem can cause a person’s skin to become red. If children or animals eat the leaves they may become sick, but they will not die. There are several herbs used in Christmas foods, drinks and decorations. One is sage. Its leaves are cooked with turkey. And sweet-smelling rosemary plants are hung on doors or cut to look like little Christmas tree.
