The tradition of the National Christmas Tree on the White House lawn started in 1923 with President Calvin Coolidge.
And in 1882 Edward Johnson, who was a colleague of Edison, hand-strung 80 red, white and blue bulbs together and put them on his tree in his New York apartment there were two additional strings of 28 lights mounted from the ceiling. In 1584, the historian Balthasar Russow wrote about a tradition, in Riga, of a decorated fir tree in the market square where the young men went with a flock of maidens and women, first sang and danced there and then set the tree aflame.

The History of Christmas Trees
Evergreen trees (and other evergreen plants) have traditionally been used to celebrate winter festivals (pre-Christian/pagan and Christian) for thousands of years. Pre-Christian/Pagans used branches of evergreen trees to decorate their homes during the winter solstice, as it made them think of the spring to come. The Romans used Fir Trees to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia. However, they were quite different to what we now think of as Christmas Trees.
Nobody is really sure when Fir trees were first used as Christmas trees. It probably began about 1000 years ago in Northern Europe.
Christmas Trees might well have started out as 'Paradise Trees' (branches or wooden frames decorated with apples). These were used in medieval German Mystery or Miracle Plays that were acted out in front of Churches during Advent and on Christmas Eve. In early church calendars of saints, 24th December was Adam and Eve's day. The Paradise Tree represented the Garden of Eden. It was often paraded around the town before the play started, as a way of advertising the play. The plays told Bible stories to people who could not read.
Christmas Trees as they came to be now started around the late 1400s into the 1500s. In what's now Germany (was the Holy Roman Empire then), the Paradise Tree had more decorations on it (sometimes communion wafers, cherries and later pastry decorations of stars, bells, angels, etc. were added) and it even got a new nickname the 'Christbaum' or 'Christ Tree'.
Some early Christmas Trees, across many parts of northern Europe, were cherry or hawthorn plants (or a branch of the plant) that were put into pots and brought inside so they would hopefully flower at Christmas time. If you couldn't afford a real plant, people made pyramids of woods and they were decorated to look like a tree with paper, apples and candles. It's possible that the wooden pyramid trees were meant to be like Paradise Trees. Sometimes they were carried around from house to house, rather than being displayed in a home.
Some trees (or at least small tops of them or branches of fir trees) were hung from the ceiling, mainly in some parts of Germany, some Slavic countries and parts of Poland. This might have been to save space or they just looked nice hanging from the rafters! (If you have lighting hooks on the ceiling, they would also be an obvious place to hang things from.)
These glimpses are carefully selected to pique the viewers' curiosity without revealing too much of the story. The use of quick cuts and dynamic editing techniques helps to create a sense of tension and suspense, further enticing viewers to watch the movie or show.

Ultimately, the purpose of the witch hunt trailer is to captivate viewers and generate interest in the movie or show. By showcasing intriguing characters, a captivating storyline, and a visually appealing and atmospheric setting, the trailer aims to entice potential viewers to watch the production and experience the world of witch hunts..
Reviews for "Beware the Darkness: Get a Glimpse of the Intense Witch Hunt Trailer"
1. Emily - 2/5
I was really disappointed with the Witch Hunt trailer. It seemed like such a promising concept, but the execution fell flat for me. The acting seemed wooden, and the dialogue felt forced. I didn't get a sense of any real tension or excitement from the trailer, which is a shame because I love supernatural thrillers. Overall, I found the Witch Hunt trailer to be underwhelming and lacking in originality.
2. Michael - 2/5
I was really looking forward to the Witch Hunt trailer, but I found it to be incredibly cliché. The whole "small town with a dark secret" trope has been done to death, and this trailer didn't bring anything new to the table. The jump scares were predictable, and the storyline seemed unambitious. I won't be wasting my time on this film, as the trailer failed to grab my attention or make me interested in the characters or plot.
3. Sarah - 1/5
I couldn't even make it through the whole Witch Hunt trailer. The acting was atrocious, the special effects seemed cheap, and the storyline was completely uninspired. I've seen better productions from high school drama clubs. The trailer was a mess of confusing images and disjointed scenes that didn't make me want to see more. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this snoozefest of a film.
