According to the Guinness World Records, the world’s tallest cut Christmas tree was a 221 ft Douglas fir that stood at Northgate Shopping Center, in Seattle, Washington, during Christmas 1950.
That’s nearly the equivalent of the wingspan of a Boeing 747-8, which is 225 feet. It’s also nearly as tall as a Giant Sequoia tree, which can grow as tall as 250 feet tall.
According to historians, Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition that originated during the German Renaissance sometime in the 15th and 16th centuries.
While we all love Santa Claus, the real meaning of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Jesus.
