Karsikko: Suomessa tavattiin ennen tehdä merkkipäivien ja vainajien muistoksi karsikkopuita leikkaamalla osa puun oksia pois, niin että karsikko oli selvästi merkitty.

Tartsu and The Christmas Tree: – Would you assemble the Christmas tree? // – Weren’t you supposed to do this? // – I did. It’s a Christmas karsikko.

Karsikko: It was an old custom in Finland to mark trees for special events and for the dead by cutting of most of their branches. These marked trees were called karsikko.
