When I was about 15 at home with a couple of my mates, a couple of girls knocked on my front door and started to sing 'chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken, lay a little egg for me......' as a sort of Easter carol singing thing. I wasn't sure what Easter 'carols' were all about and still am not to be honest. Similar to your tree.

Anyway, now as a much older bloke and dad, I'd find that quite a nice effort. Back then though, we were typical teen ar$e holes and sent them packing.

@Obadiah Boondoggle sounds like a bit of you this.

My mother's been doing this for almost 2 decades. It's nothing new.
I believe it is tradition in some parts of Germany too as my wife spent some years there as a child and her family continued the tradition back in the UK.

What a load of commercially driven nonsense to get people to part with their money and give it to big business

Undoubtedly it has been/will be hijacked by business/influencers, but it seems like Christmas trees, it's a very old German tradition
