Tree Ornaments for Christmas
The concept of decorating a tree with ornaments for Christmas is not a new tradition. In fact, Christmas ornaments date back to 16th Century Germany. This concept remained exclusively within Germany for quite a while. The first tree ornaments in Germany were candles, used by Martin Luther to entertain and delight his children.
Other Christmas ornaments of this time (after the introduction of the candle as an ornament) were paper flowers, candy, hard cookies, fruit, and tinsel made of silver, tin, and other shiny materials. Since then, the Christmas ornament has obviously changed a lot – perhaps due to the safety concerns of hanging candles on a flammable tree that is surrounded by children. Ornaments have always been beautiful creations proudly displayed on a tree for all to marvel at.
Throughout the 1800s, beautiful glass ornaments gained popularity in Europe and the United States. Queen Victoria and Price Albert brought the idea of the Christmas ornament from Germany to England in 1840. In addition to the German glass ornaments, beads, paper baskets containing sugared almonds and other nuts, and vibrant hot air balloons decorated Christmas trees throughout England. These German hand-blown glass tree ornaments became a spectacular representation of Christmas and finally made their way to the United States in 1880, sold exclusively at Woolworth. By 1880, American families were decorating Christmas trees in a similar way that we do today.
In 1973, Hallmark introduced the concept of collectible Christmas ornaments, further broadening the concept of the Christmas ornament. Soon, collectible Santas and other traditional Christmas characters like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman became familiar sights on American Christmas trees. Since Hallmark's introduction of collectible ornaments in 1973, people began collecting and giving collectible Christmas ornaments as gifts for the holiday season.
These Hallmark ornament collections started out as glass and yarn creations, but slowly expanded to include acrylic, wood, metal, porcelain, and intricate handmade items in every shape or figure imaginable. Still though, collectible Santas remain among the most popular theme for an ornament, regardless of the materials used to construct him. Santa has been and probably always will be a lasting symbol of Christmas for people around the world.
The tradition of Christmas themed ornaments is a great way to celebrate the holiday season and spend time with family while decorating the tree. This is a tradition that isn't likely to die out anytime soon.
