I have since been told that these upside-down Christmas trees date back to Medieval times, when the triangle shape was meant to represent the Holy Trinity. Not sure if this is true or not! Nowadays the main selling point of these trees seems to be so that you have more space to put presents...which isn't really in the true spirit of Christmas at all! What does everyone think? Thanks for your comment Nazma!
