Many people around the world celebrate Christmas. Do you ever wonder where some of the holiday traditions come from or when they started? Ornament Express Personalized Christmas Ornaments takes pride in the wide selection and quality of our unique Christmas ornaments, so we would like to share some of the history of tree decorations with you. After all, without it Ornament Express wouldn't exist.
A bauble, or ball as we call it in American English, is one of the most popular types of tree decorations. Glass balls have been in production since 1847 and were first made in Lauscha, Germany, by Hans Greiner. The legend says that he began blowing glass to make decorations because he couldn't afford the traditional items for his tree. At that time, the traditional items were nuts, candy, and fruit.
Modern tree decorations can be made of glass, wood, metal, ceramics, and much more. Ornament Express uses a durable resin to ensure a high quality product that will last and be enjoyed for many years. There are many different types of decorations that people place on their tree today, including fruit, birds, balls, and countless artistic designs. We offer more than 500 Christmas ornaments, including family Christmas ornaments. Please keep reading to find out about our modern day traditions.
Today we make our own tree decorations just like Hans Greiner did in 1847, but we don't just do it to economize. We make family Christmas ornaments to make our tree individual, special, and to establish new traditions. For many of our customers, it is a tradition to give a family member or friend one of our personalized ornaments every year.
Our decorations are better than crafts you will find in a store because each one of ours is hand painted with a high gloss finish. We take the utmost care with each and every order to ensure your unique Christmas ornaments are one of a kind. To learn more about our selection, keep reading.
