Personalized Christmas Tree Ornaments

By Lori | August 2, 2007

tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , and

Personalized Christmas Ornaments can be one of the most treasured Christmas decorations. Some of the first ornaments used to decorate trees were fruit and nuts. These items, along with the tree, were a symbol of hope that life, as it was before winter, would return in the spring. As time went on, other decorations were added to trees such as shiny decorations and food decorations like gingerbread and other hard cookies that were baked into shapes.

As the practice of decorating a Christmas tree spread, other countries began adding their own customs and decorations. Many of the traditions and customs for Christmas trees and ornaments that are in use today are believed to have originated in Germany.

Many families have large ornament collections that they use to decorate their Christmas tree each year. These collections often include special and meaningful ornaments that are family keepsakes, or handmade ornaments made by family, friends, or even children. Children often make ornaments for their parents at school. It is common in some families to see children’s or kid’s scribbles with “My First Christmas” written all over it. These decorate the chimney, or are put adjacent to the tree.

Many collections also include personalized ornaments. These ornaments can commemorate a marriage, a baby’s first Christmas, and may even contain a special photo.

An ornament collection is unique to each person or family and creates a special Christmas tree that is unlike anyone else’s Christmas tree.

Decorating the Christmas tree - Personalized Ornaments

By Lori | August 1, 2007

Decorating the Christmas tree is a great way to get into the holiday spirit. It’s also a great way to get your family together to create some holiday memories. It all starts with first picking out the perfect tree. Should you get a real tree, an artificial tree, a small tree, or the tallest tree you can find? Then there are the countless options of what decorations to use. There are the lights, the ornaments, the garland, ribbons, and just about anything else you can think of to put on your tree. The possibilities seem endless.

So where do you start? Picking a theme is a good place to start. Get some ideas on the colors and the decorations you may want to use. You’ll probably have some special ornaments to hang throughout the tree and you’ll need some filler ornaments for the rest of the space. Common Christmas symbols such as Santa Claus, snowflakes, reindeer, snowmen, and stars have a big presence in Christmas decorating.

Maybe the biggest decision to make is to decide whether to use a real tree or an artificial one. Everyone has a preference on which tree they like better and of course there are advantages and disadvantages for both. The traditional look and scent of a real tree cannot be matched by a fake one and many people look forward to and enjoy the tradition of going out to pick out or cut down the perfect tree. With an artificial tree, there are no needles to clean up and no worries about watering. Using an artificial tree year after year is also economical. However, artificial trees are made with the non-renewable source of petroleum and do not decompose in landfills once they are disposed of. Real trees are biodegradable and new trees are typically planted to replace the ones that have been cut down.

imageIf you want a real tree but don’t want to cut one down, there is also the option of using a planted tree. You can keep the tree planted in a pot and once the holidays are over, you can plant the tree outside in your yard. One must weigh the pros and cons of each type of tree and make the decision that best fits their needs.

If you choose to use an artificial tree, Christmas is just the beginning. You can reuse your tree again and again. Celebrate holidays throughout the year with a Valentine’s tree, Easter tree, Halloween tree, Thanksgiving tree, or decorate your tree for any other holiday or occasion that you can think of.
