On the First Sunday of Advent, Christians start lighting their Advent wreaths, and praying their Advent daily devotional;[2] believers may also erect their Christmas tree or Chrismon tree,[2] light a Christingle,[3] as well as engage in other ways of preparing for Christmas, such as setting up Christmas decorations,[4][5][6] a custom that is sometimes done liturgically through a hanging of the greens ceremony.[2][7]
