		<description>The author didn&#039;t cite a lot of sources. So &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.britannica.com/facts/5/7751/Christmas-tree-as-discussed-in-church-year-Christianity&quot;  rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&#039;s Britannica.&lt;/a&gt; (I know, it&#039;s no Wikipedia, but it&#039;ll do in a pinch.)

If anyone&#039;s inclined to follow up, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.orlutheran.com/html/chrtree.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&#039;s a well-footnoted essay on the topic quoting several primary and scholarly sources.</description>
