Chrismon Trees are a popular variation of the Christmas Tree developed by Frances Kipps Spencer (1917-1990), a member of the Ascension Lutheran Church in Danville, Virginia. She originated the concept in 1957 when she set out to create decorations appropriate for a church's Christmas tree.

The Chrismon Tree is always an evergreen tree, which symbolizes the eternal life. The tree is decorated by ancient Christian symbols, called a Chrismon, which are usually handmade by members of the local congregation in colors of white and gold.
