The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century， with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells， baubles and tinsel。 However， the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small， artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations。 These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war， and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas。 The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square， London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war。
