What is PVC?
Colourless, odourless and tasteless and inert in most
environments PVC is a polymer derived from vinyl
chloride monomer, a chlorinated hydrocarbon.
In polymerisation, smaller molecules called monomers,
combine chemically to form large chain-like molecules
called polymers. Polymers such as polythene (PE),
polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polystyrene
(PS), polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) and nylon form
the basis of many products.

Origin of Xmas-Christmas tree
The exact origin of the Xmas-Christmas tree seems under
debate, but it is safe to say that this symbol evolved
from Pagan tradition.
The Norse pagans and Celtic Druids revered evergreens as
manifestations of deity because they did not "die" from
year to year but stayed green and alive when other
plants appeared dead and bare. The trees represented
everlasting life and hope for the return of spring.

The druids
decorated their trees with symbols of prosperity -- a
fruitful harvest, coins for wealth and various charms
such as those for love or fertility. Scandinavian Pagans
are thought to be the first to bring their decorated
trees indoors as this provided a warm and welcoming
environment for the native fairy folk and tree
elementals to join in the festivities. The Saxons, a
Germanic pagan tribe, were the first to place lights on
the their trees in the form of candles. Ancient Romans
decorated their homes with greens at the Festival of
Saturnalia, their New Year and exchanged evergreen
branches with friends as a sign of good luck. The first
Christian use of the Xmas-Christmas tree symbol on
Athena-hands.com is credited to 16th century when devout
Christians also brought decorated trees into their
homes. German born Prince Albert, husband of Queen
Victoria, is credited with starting the trend in England
in 1841 when he brought the first Xmas-Christmas tree to
Windsor Castle.

While Europe
had already been celebrating Christmas for some time,
the first recorded sighting of a Xmas-Christmas tree in
America came in 1830's Pennsylvania. It seems a local
church erected the tree as a fundraising effort.
Xmas-Christmas trees were generally not thought kindly
of in early America, as many people saw them as Pagan
symbols, which is in fact, their origin. By the 1890's,
however, Christmas ornaments were being imported from
Germany and Xmas-Christmas trees were in high fashion.
While Europeans generally favored smaller trees about
three to four feet in height, Americans, as usual, liked
to do things big. Their trees proudly stretched from
floor to ceiling. Popular ornaments with the
German-Americans were natural items like apples, nuts,
berries, marzipan and cookies. Popcorn, an American
addition, eventually was added to the mix.
With the advent of electricity, Xmas-Christmas trees
began to appear in town squares across America and the
traditional "lighting of the tree" quickly became the
official symbols of the beginning of the holiday season.
